Alright, sorry for the double whammy. #Mastodon v2.7.0rc3

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0rc3

Identical to rc2 except for one bug fix, and since they are so close together, I just moved the release notes from rc2 to rc3.

#Mastodon v2.7.0rc2 is out:

Everything is fucky over here, and I think it's because Wasabi was (is?) down

My blog post "Why does decentralization matter?" has been translated into Japanese by @yotii23 and @KitaitiMakoto

Good morning

Public hashtag page, but with a masonry layout. Thoughts?

#mastodev

I went ahead and also added a page with details about Mastodon's #ActivityPub implementation:

Let me know what you think.

Total servers: 2031
Total active last week: 171402
Total joined last week: 21830

When you find a new reaction image but don't know what to use it for

I want to experience Mastodon at 1 million active users (6x more than now)

According to @TheKinrar's instances.social service, 162,776 people were active on Mastodon in the first week of 2019 (22,459 on mastodon.social)

I've run some calculations based on #Eunomia questions. Unfortunately, no easy way for me to get this information for the entire fediverse, but based on the mastodon.social database:

25% of users post in English
6.5% in Japanese
3.7% in French
3.6% in Spanish
2.7% in Russian
2.4% in German

Notably, 71 users post in "squeak"

Fuck fuck fuck this station is not next to the airport

#Mastodon v2.7.0rc1

The sign up API might be a game changer once apps start making use of it. Having a sign up form on joinmastodon.org stops being technically impossible, as well.

To be honest I have not quite finished all I had in mind for this release, as you can see on the roadmap, a bunch of items are still "in progress":

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/projects/7

However with me leaving on a trip tomorrow and people being thirsty for some of the already finished stuff, I'm just gonna tag it

I am packing my bags for tomorrow, and also finishing up whatever needs to be done to push out the first release candidate for v2.7.0

That was not an invitation for suggestions or explanations. I know how to create changelogs. It was just exasperation.
