One of the most important things an admin on the fedi can do is defederate. Defederate hateful instances, edgy instances (they often interact with hateful instances), anything that strikes you as skeevy or off.

You make the fedi better every time you do.

I host the pixie.town Mastodon and Matrix servers (and a bunch of other smaller services).

I also work on a variety of projects, like the ActivityPub server and a new ActivityPub client , as well as a bunch of other projects you can find at git.pixie.town/f0x

social.pixie.town is co-moderated by @thufie, she has a liberapay at liberapay.com/thufie

Support your local server before you support official Mastodon development!

Check what fork your local server runs before you support the official Mastodon development.

You'll find some really cool people, and Your money will probably have a much larger impact supporting the local server and forks.

merovingian.club

I got as far as the header image calling it the instance for "redpilled exiles" when I was checking whether to forward a report on someone for inflammatory behaviour

or at the very least just include the bare minimum info about an account, like username, url, displayname, avatar link. Not their whole bio lol

rather wasteful for bandwidth tbqh, it's convenient but I really would've expected a toot to just contain it's actual contents, with a reference to the accounts involved, and separate API routes to get information about an account

still gotta investigate storing toots (and accounts?) in indexeddb instead of localstorage

Show thread

(every single toot response includes the full account info of the poster (and if it's boosted, that account too), so much more compact to store those separately, deduplicated across toots)

Show thread

new toot/account storage format is almost a 50% reduction :)

fedifox will have micro trans actions (hotkey to toot a trans flag)

To my fellow transes: this latest #TwitterMigration has brought a ton of cis folks to our servers. A lot of them are going to bring their “cis is the default” attitudes with them. Let’s break them of that habit early.

Now more than ever is the time to remind everyone that this is a space that is more than just tolerant of trans people, it is welcoming and encouraging of all gender expressions.

Any cis person uncomfortable at this: best to unfollow me now.

go try fedifox.cthu.lu/, it's an in-progress client app being made by @f0x and it's coming along real nice
