I blocked mastodon.social, and they blocked me back.

Do not trust mastodon.social.

They know about the scams I reported, but they do nothing. Even worse, they still support some of them — for example, “Gaza Verified.”

We joined the Fediverse to get away from one group controlling everything. But now, because so many people depend on mastodon.social, it is becoming that same kind of gatekeeper.

Can I use #Peertube and #Lemmy and other #ActivityPub services using my #Mastodon account?

Or do I need an account for every additional service I want to interact with?

⚠️ バージョン4.5にアップグレードしてください！ ⚠️

古いバージョンのMastodonには既知のセキュリティ脆弱性があります。また、古いインスタンスでは、最新バージョンで導入された特定のコンテンツ（引用など）が正しく表示・通信されない場合があります。

ユーザーのセキュリティ、互換性、利便性を確保するために、Mastodonインスタンスをバージョン4.5にアップグレードすることをお勧めします。

Are you an administrator running Mastodon?

⚠️ Upgrade to version 4.5! ⚠️

Older versions of Mastodon contain known security vulnerabilities. In addition, outdated instances may not properly display or communicate certain types of content (such as quotes) introduced in the latest version.

To ensure the security, compatibility, and convenience of your users, you should upgrade your Mastodon instance to version 4.5 as soon as possible.

Mastodon을 운영하는 관리자이신가요?

⚠️ 4.5 버전으로 업그레이드하세요! ⚠️

이전 버전의 Mastodon에는 알려진 보안 취약점이 포함되어 있습니다. 또한 구버전 인스턴스는 최신 버전에서 도입된 일부 콘텐츠 유형(예: 인용글)을 올바르게 표시하거나 주고받지 못할 수 있습니다.

사용자의 보안, 호환성, 편의성을 보장하기 위해 Mastodon 인스턴스를 가능한 한 빨리 4.5 버전으로 업그레이드하시기 바랍니다.

Sind Sie Administrator einer Mastodon-Instanz?

⚠️ Aktualisieren Sie jetzt auf Version 4.5! ⚠️

Ältere Versionen von Mastodon enthalten bekannte Sicherheitslücken. Außerdem können veraltete Instanzen bestimmte Arten von Inhalten (z. B. Zitate), die in der neuesten Version eingeführt wurden, möglicherweise nicht richtig anzeigen oder übermitteln.

Um die Sicherheit, Kompatibilität und Benutzerfreundlichkeit für Ihre Nutzer zu gewährleisten, sollten Sie Ihre Mastodon-Instanz so bald wie möglich auf Version 4.5 aktualisieren.

⚠️ Do not be HACKED !! 😱

Software updates include not only new features but also critical security fixes. To keep your site secure and stable, ensure you always use the latest version.

We frequently observe numerous sites across the Fediverse running very outdated versions of Mastodon or Misskey. Some sites are even using versions over a year old.

Be the smart administrator and keep your site up to date.

⚠️ Aktualisiere deine Website

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass viele Seiten im Fediverse sehr veraltete Versionen von Mastodon oder Misskey verwenden – teilweise älter als ein Jahr.

Software-Updates bringen nicht nur neue Funktionen, sondern enthalten auch wichtige Sicherheitsupdates. Um deine Seite sicher und stabil zu betreiben, solltest du unbedingt darauf achten, die neueste Version deiner Plattform zu verwenden.

⚠️ Actualiza tu sitio web

He notado que muchos sitios en el Fediverso están utilizando versiones muy antiguas de Mastodon o Misskey — en algunos casos, de más de un año.

Las actualizaciones de software no solo traen nuevas funciones, sino también importantes correcciones de seguridad. Para mantener tu sitio seguro y funcionando correctamente, asegúrate de usar siempre la versión más reciente de tu plataforma.

And thanks to byte, @stefano@bsd.cafe, andypiper, pmjv, daltux, r-ricci and any others I may have missed for their contributions to this release as well!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.84 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29810

1 out of 3 of GitHub's Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign the other two will pass as well.

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Every movement begins with a spark.

Loops is that spark — breaking down the walls built around creativity and replacing them with doors anyone can open, explore, and build upon.

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!

We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)

You can also disable Federation support

I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨

Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀

Building healthy federated communities requires the right tools.

Loops federation controls will give admins:

🛡️ Powerful federation modes (Open, Moderated, Trusted, Lockdown)
🛡️ Granular domain permissions
🛡️ Per-user activity controls
🛡️ Advanced moderation features
🛡️ Internal Audit Log to keep admins/mods accountable

Empowering admins to create safer spaces in the fediverse, shipping soon! ✨

Loops will make it really easy to manage, just take a look at this demo ✨

I think we're ready. Stay tuned.

After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.

Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.

Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.

Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).

Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).

Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).

Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).

While others build walled gardens, we're preparing to tear down walls.

As TikTok creates separate US and global apps, we're putting the finishing touches on ActivityPub integration in Loops.

Soon you'll share your loops across the entire fediverse - no borders, no corporate silos.

The future is federated. 🌐

I'm making great progress with ActivityPub federation + @loops

Revolutionary idea: What if social media platforms actually let you control your data?

@loops does, with full data exports, retention controls & opt-in analytics.

The future of social is open-source ❤️

The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.

Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).

Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.

Função muito supimpa do #SNAC que só recentemente constatei como é útil: podemos pôr no texto a ligação para uma imagem externa, que ele a transforma em anexo da "atividade" (a publicação no #ActivityPub), sem precisar armazená-la! Pode notar que essa foto do Locutus — Cap. Picard (Patrick Stewart) assimilado pelos Borg — é descarregada diretamente da Wikimedia Commons!

Não sei se outros sistemas, mesmo os que também já suportam #Markdown, fazem isso! Quem aí pode dizer?

@Chaotica Hubzilla ist da deutlich "mächtiger" ;) Aber ok, du wirst bestimmt was finden. In Sachen #ActivityPub ist ja glücklicherweise einiges in Bewegung.
