https://awakari.com/#about is a site that SELLS information about Fediverse instances and users. They created an instance that has to be banned now: activitypub.awakari.com
In this instance there is a bot that will follow as much accounts it can in order to gather data to sell. Also block awakari.com, so all the new domains will be blocked.

UPDATE: they opened a new instance with a new bot

activitypub.awakari.app (the instance)
@Awakari@activitypub.awakari.app

UPDATE 2: They are now using fake names that don't include Awakari but the profile is the same. The new domain is Indy.rest and the profile is @indy.rest@indy.rest

just called ai "the mediocrity machine" in a meeting and a tech bro is twitching so hard he can't even plug this into the mediocrity machine so it can tell him how to respond

Some of the people that I like the most on the fediverse have not a whole lot in common with me at all.

Reading their posts, however, has helped me to see the world from so many different perspectives.

This is why diversity is important. It isn't so much because it makes a place "more profitable", it's because the richness of blending perspectives has value beyond the economic.

There are problems that will be impossible for humanity to solve without this.

"The Star Fox-style roguelite whose dev refused to use AI voices to cut costs is adding an entire 'anti-capitalist revenge' campaign about a cat-girl destroying AI" is a headline that makes me happy in many ways. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/roguelike/the-star-fox-style-roguelite-whose-dev-refused-to-use-ai-voices-to-cut-costs-is-adding-an-entire-anti-capitalist-revenge-campaign-about-a-cat-girl-destroying-ai/

Time to Rave B) for piper

Hello everyone!

We've just made the first release candidate for version 0.16.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Snappy Sloth.

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.16.0-rc1

For adventurous instance admins, please read the release + migration notes very carefully when updating to this release, paying particular attention to the database migrations section.

Here are the release highlights:

Sign up / registration: In this release, you can open your instance to new registrations (aka sign-ups) via the new signup page at https://[your-instance.tld]/signup. No more manually creating new users via the CLI :)
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/signups/
Accounts overview for moderators: To support the new sign-up feature, and help instance admins to moderate, we made a new section in the settings panel where admins + moderators can get an overview of accounts, and filter by instance, status, and more. You'll find this new accounts view in the settings panel.
Totally reworked message delivery system and worker queues: We've completely reworked the way GoToSocial sends out messages to your followers and performs worker-related tasks; this should drastically increase the speed that outgoing messages are delivered, especially for users with lots of followers. It also paves the way for future work in terms of persisting worker and message queues over restarts.
Account mutes: The account mute API endpoints are now implemented, meaning you can put (timed) mutes of accounts in place, to hide statuses from specific accounts from your home timeline, and/or hide notifications from muted accounts.
Accurate account stats: This release introduces code to pull up-to-date counts of statuses, followers, and following from remote instances and show these stats via the API. So now in your client of choice, you should see an accurate count of the number of statuses and followers/following of a given account, no more "0 followers, 0 following, 0 statuses".
HTTP header permissions settings: The settings panel now has a section that allows admins to set regular expressions to deny requests depending on HTTP headers.
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/request_filtering_modes/
Filters v2 implementation: We've now implemented the v2 API for filters, which means you can create more complex filters to hide keywords or statuses, and more clients should be able to create filters on GoToSocial.
Send test email: Admins can now use the settings panel to send a test email, to check if their SMTP (email) configuration is valid.
Profile API: Clients that use the profile API to delete avatar + header images should now work, since we've now implemented this part of the API.
Search operators: We've added a first search operator to GoToSocial, so when you're searching for statuses, you can add from:@[username]@[domain] to your search term, to search only within statuses created by the given account (while still respecting the search limitations we already had in place).
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/search/
Email change: Users can now change their email address in the settings panel without admin intervention.
Documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#email-change
Memory usage optimizations: GoToSocial now uses memory more conservatively than before; you should only need about 150-200MiB of memory to run GtS with a full cache, and it will spike less.
