Mastodawn

Maybe someone who knows more about #federation might be able to help me here: So my single-user #Pixelfed instance is sitting on a 20GB PSQL database after just one year. Is there any way to make this more viable in the long term, like getting rid of old post info I got like 1 year ago from other servers? Or any other way to improve the storage efficiency here? It just feels weird that the database is using up more storage at this point then the image files saved on this instance…

Today should have been my Mastodon fediversary, but I have ditched the first instance and domain in favour of the current one after few months back in November. As of today 8129 instances federated with TheLab Social and I can't be happier to read from and interact with each single one of them. Long life to Mastodon, long life to The Fediverse.

That's two issues: One is #security (Signal is good regarding #confidentiality and #integrity, but not necessarily #availability) and the other #digitalSovereignty, which calls for #federation.

My comment was about the chart by @AliceStollmeyer, titled "take back control". Signal is partially controlled by AWS, i.e. they can switch it off.

Not mentioning #Jabber/#XMPP among secure messaging apps is wrong, of course 🙂 Just don't take that site serious.

So let’s take this as a lesson and accept that the centralized approach is much too risky. We should instead create the open standards for building a federated metaverse.
For me, extending the open web seems like the way to go. We should start with 3-dimensional web sites an browsers that can render them - either on flat screens or 3D glasses. Then presence and avatars could be the next step.

If anyone is a Mastodon admin could you tell me if warnings from other servers federate? Or is it useless to give a remote user a warning as a moderation action?

Just curious because Lemmy's Developers are considering making warnings in #Lemmy 1.0 federate and it might be good to have it be able to federate with Mastodon if that's possible.

Additionally if you have in-depth technical knowledge of how this works, feel free to share it here in the github issue.

Boosts are very much appreciated to help visibility.

Make warnings federate · Issue #6326 · LemmyNet/lemmy

Followup for #6315. Its not clear how warnings should be federated, there is no matching standard activity type and no matching FEP that I can find. I believe Mastodon has warnings, need to figure ...

Should all public libraries have a #Mastodon server for all their patrons to have an account, administered by one of the geek librarians? They already offer computer and internet access. It would just be one more service that a library card also offers.
