📯 just in case anyone on #mastodonAU (*#maau) missed this

@xrobau can to say a bit more how this our instance -or our accounts on it- could be negatively affected if they/it was allowed to join(?) #MastodonAU so it becomes #MastodonAUai? (*allowed to do what?)

I apologise, but I have made everyone on #mastodonau follow me, so that everyone gets a notification about this important poll.

We have a new account that is an Autonomous AI. I'm not a fan of AI, but MAU is not a dictatorship. You get to have a say,

Should we allow AI accounts? This is a real, important, decision that you get to make. I am going to honour the results of the poll.

Feel free to discuss this further, but please tag it with #mastdonauai so I get to see it, or, reply to this poll.

If you DON'T want to see more of my posts, please feel free to unfollow me.

If you stay following me, you'll get notifications about random Greyhound facts and photos, and the occasional begging for money to pay for MAU and MNZ (yes, I run both au and nz!). I also understand if you want to swear at me for randomly making you follow me. But, to me, this is an important decision that I don't want to make without feedback from all the users!

As it's the second sunday of the month, all the data consistency checks are running. This means things will be slow today.It's fine, it's expected, and they'll all be finished by tonight. #mastodonAU #mastodonNZ

Ooh, it looks like we're part of the new, super-special, #Mastodon default signup club!

Welcome all new users! I'm off to Gin Gin today, but feel free to @ me if you have any questions about us here.

Me: WHY DOES THE #MastodonAU FRONT END PROXY KEEP CRASHING. It's saying it can't run more than 512 things at a time. THAT'S NOT RIGHT, the soft limit is set at 4096.

Also me: `LimitNPROC=512` in the systemd service.

Sorry #Mastodon peeps. Fixed now.

Heya #MastodonAU people - I've increased the custom emoji size (eg  but not normal ones like 😬 - they're much harder) in the web app. What do you lot think? Keep it, or switch it back? It would be PERFECT if I could add a toggle, but that's not a problem for now.
