I can't wait until I can begin removing OStatus-related code from Mastodon. I think GNU social is the last remaining fediverse project that hasn't yet switched to ActivityPub? #mastodev

In the #mastodev pipeline for #mastoadmins: Improved admin account view UI

I started backing away. Then, from another door, another elf, same name but underscore 02. And then another. They all looked the same, and they were now moving towards me. I equipped a sword and swung at one of them, but to no avail. He had a shield and blocked it, but they all just kept creeping forward. That's when I woke up with a headache.

Had a nightmare, woke up with a headache ?

Something something follower migration work in progress, lengthy thoughts about traffic implications and risks

#mastodev

"Fortnite was 2018’s most important social network"

I can't believe @dansup did it. The absolute mad lad. @pixelfed federates!

I"m awake! Merry Christmas! ?

Merry Christmas! ?

Twitter can go too

For Christmas I wish the fediverse to grow, and Facebook to die

There might be some downtime in a bit on mastodon.social as I will be switching the database primary.

@Toromino Because the bridge no longer has access to Twitter API, and as such, doesn't work

I guess I'm gonna have to remove the "Find friends from Twitter" link from the web UI footer

Hellooooooo

Here are some screenshots from the moderation warnings PR #mastodev

Passive sentence like "you have been locked out of your account", or active like "we have locked you out of your account"? Perhaps "we at example.com have locked"? Or again less personal "the staff of example.com has locked"? I can't decide lol

Added :AAAAAA: emoji because my life was incomplete without it

I was invited to consult a European research project called Eunomia. The project aims to implement a web of trust system for the spread of news in social networks, and I will be advising them on how their system can work with decentralized social networks, and Mastodon in particular. I'll also be doing community outreach, since at some point we'll need volunteers for trying it out.

The kick-off meeting is in January, in London. I bought the tickets today. Excited & equally terrified.

Someone is quote-tweeting every reply to my Mastodon Twitter account, perfectly illustrating how dumb that feature is. Just a performance act for followers.
