@f0x Ha, I know that mug! I gifted it to someone for their birthday

Because a few people have tried this already:
Please DO NOT try to replace another fedi instance with a GoToSocial deployment on the same domain, with the same username. This will almost certainly cause issues with federation due to public/private keys changing, and it is not something we support.
In the future, we’ll try to provide a proper migration path between GtS and other fedi servers. But in the meantime we recommend deploying GtS at a subdomain that hasn’t been in use yet, like fedi.[example.org] or social.[example.org].
Your enthusiasm about GtS is appreciated! But if you try to drop-in GtS in place of a preexisting fedi server, and things break, we will not be able to help you with them.

Confused spam is confused.
(Thank you thank you, it's been a great honor to not be able to receive this package. I'd just like to pass on some props to all the people who made this not possible...)

am wondering if I should put up a queer/trans centered swedish mastodon server? Because I'm missing my peeps over here, missing people to talk about the situation in sweden.
@welshpixie @Jo @crash @tuturto@tech.lgbt I mean, that is essentially like a reverse ban appeal, immediately confirming that the decision to ban was correct
So far, things are going well - this is my first attempt to write a 'real' parser with the parser generator library I've been working on, and I basically have half of a JSON parser now, after like 20 minutes of work
I'm very happy right about now that I built a good debug output feature into my parser generator library... that 'abc,32' is definitely wrong

Turns out Twitter was the cage, not the bird
@queerterpreter Ah, those are essentially 'bridges' of sorts, like virtual accounts that replicate their corresponding Twitter posts so that fedi users can follow Twitter accounts as well. Their use is somewhat controversial.
re: fedi blocking meta
@rune Maybe @f0x can elaborate more on this, but my understanding for the moderation policy on pixie.town is that instance bans are based on user reports plus intermittent following of #FediBlock posts, but not explicitly replicating other instances' banlists.
And I can definitely confirm that whatever process we have here is *very* effective, I virtually never see shitheads anywhere.
@rune Someone once pointed out to me that utility companies have a very different set of priority tiers: just "ASAP" and "yesterday". The latter for anything that goes zap or boom.
@silvermoon82@tech.lgbt Honestly, I disagree here. We don't *have* to accept this. Instances that grow unsustainably large can be left to decay by themselves, as already happens to a degree with them getting defederated.
Compromising with bad actors before they've even noticed you is the equivalent of inviting a vampire into your home.

(Nogmaals) Ik reageer nu ook op mentions met een paginanummer erin. Als je dan '@teletekstbot Pagina 501' toot, dan krijg je een screenshot van die pagina terug.
Denk erom dat je de juiste bot mentioned, die dus eindigt op mastodon.nl. Vrgr, je teletekstbot.
re: ADHS, Tipps, Tricks (English)
@Kirra@digitalcourage.social The realization (as pointed out by someone on Twitter, ironically), that you don't actually *have* to follow the unwritten rules and norms.
Can't get yourself to unload the washing machine in time? Just run it another cycle. Who cares.
Can't find the energy to sort out stuff on the floor immediately? Just dump it into one big storage bin so that you have space to walk and a less busy environment, and sort it out later. Who cares.
Can't deal with phone ringtones interrupting your day? Just put your phone on permanently silent and call people back later. Who cares. (This one obviously does not apply to everybody's situation)
@rune Where do I find this esteemed duck?

Positive news!
I've been communicating with the admin of mstdn.io , and that one particular user who was a member of an Italian neo-nazi group has been suspended. The admin also told me they've closed registration there for the past few months to try to get things under control and get on top of moderation. I'll be keeping an eye and working with them to see how things go, with an aim to moving to a silence then entirely lifting the domain block if things go well 💪

White folks: You can boost, but do not vote, please!
Anyone else (and this includes mixed race folks like me!): Has anyone ever expressed a romantic or sexual interest in you because of your race or racial appearance?
