hi #MastoAdmins,

Is there any way to limit the size of files you receive from other instances?

My
#Mastodon server often receives huge files -- 100s of MBs in size (videos). I'd rather block them. My Media Usage can get out of hand very quickly.

I can see anything in the docs.

I also run a
#GoToSocial instance, and I can limit what I receive. It just means the user has to click a link to open the file on the remote instance. Seems a great solution.

Thanks

The amount of conversations I’ve had today surrounding what E2EE is and is not has me feeling like I need to post an article covering the subject in depth. How you going to say I want E2EE and not know what it is, it’s crazy!

Seeing the big shiny new fediverse #Update appear, I'm reminded of all the wonderful people working really hard behind the scenes everyday here, from our #ServerAdmins to people who help explain what's happening like @FediTips

If you're able could I suggest you give a little donation to them to say thank you for looking after us please!

Have any other #serveradmins upgraded to 4.3.1 and had link previews break? Not sure if I need to make a change in #nginx or in #mastodon

Specifically, link previews from Mastodon in Telegram

Ah, sad to see another fediverse server shutting down. But appreciate that the admins shared their experience, the good and the bad.

"[...] not the amount of work that goes into running this server [...] difficult to untangle a situation in order to come to a good moderation decision"

"connected to communities that I wasn’t a part of, and learned their struggles and their joys"

Reminder to #serveradmins that there's a Mastodon security update coming at 15:00 UTC today

#Mastodon #ServerAdmins - do you keep your own fork of Mastodon to apply your config and other changes, and manage merges etc in your fork?

Right now I just git stash and update, then git stash apply. I realize this isn't healthy but want to see what other people do.

Welcome me on mastodon.social🥳 ! I migrated from mastodon.green after a number of disagreements there, including the refusal to cover non-Western #languages (the excuse was technical but many #serveradmins believe it is ideological -even blocking it- & I am starting to believe it). The last straw was when my post about the pro #Palestinian #demo in #London was struck down, when I dared mention many #Jews were not #zionists. I will therefore repost it here right away 😀
