I will begin compiling a blog post about 2.7 today, as it's very close to being ready

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":

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
