knzk.me do not go gentle into that good night

Self-proclaimed champions of free speech platform Gab blocks freespeechextremist.com over some speech they didn't like :OMEGALUL:

Fun fact about the license under which the Mastodon source code is published (AGPL) is that it requires any modifications to it to be published.

No secret sauce, no proprietary features possible. Which is why commercial companies hate this license.

Want to paywall "pro" features? You can, but anyone can take your code and run it on a different server for free.

Anyway, that's quite an interesting financial choice for Gab, a for-profit entity that sells "pro" features

Just to reiterate what I just posted from @Mastodon, here is v2.9.2:

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.2

Between v2.9.1 and v2.9.2, #Mastodon now has a basic moderation API, audio uploads, and admin-level domain blocks take care of subdomains automatically

I really like KNZK, both the person and the server, so big sad

Did you see @pacochi's custom emoji set https://hen.acho.co/emoji/

@roka @fuxoft @kmj Yeah, might as well

Am I right in believing that people who like to use the multi-column UI will be able to find the setting to enable it in the preferences?

I was going to use as much directly from the /api/v1/instance output as possible, but it seems that for some servers setting DEFAULT_LOCALE is not possible, so I need to add overrides for primary language

Here are the (new) requirements for being linked-to from joinmastodon:

2.8.1 soon

Different blurhash settings, illustrated, from input image, to 3x3, to 4x4, to 5x5

I want to strike a good balance between "looks nice" and "any distressing content could not be discerned underneath"

Finally... we have cornered the beast...

:bongoCat:

The #Keybase proofs system is launching tomorrow. I've just finished a couple of last-minute patches, need to get them in, release rc2, so that 2.8.0 can launch tomorrow as well

And oof, I have not written a release blog post yet

It's not that I don't sleep, I do. I think when I am stressed out, I tend to go to sleep at later and later times. And eventually I'll be waking up past sunset and there is nothing more depressing than getting up in the dark

mastodon.social is updated to v2.8.0rc2

Mastodon, known for its locally sourced cats,

@TheKinrar Yes, I do not fully understand it. At first I was told Dwango wasn't doing well financially and friends.nico was a big cost sink without contributing back to their main business. That, I can understand. But when I suggested ways to decrease their costs, they said that would not help reverse course.
