Little FYI, I will NOT sell mstdn.social, masto.ai or mastodon.coffee NO MATTER WHAT.
I don't give a sh*t about money. Paying the bills is okay but that's it.
This place is much more important and no money in the world can buy that away from me
A promise I made over and over and again this time ❤️
it's closed signups for now haha 😇 handling 2 big instances is enough work for me for now @hugovdm people are running a class about one important aspect of the moderation challenges! This round is over but it looks like they'll do it again. https://rage.love/@maloki/109512220238720831
[Edit: they're postponing the mod course to January! https://rage.love/@maloki/109553239774361229 ]
Also there is a very long but good thread which is like a class in itself. https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/105828770808733825
[Edit: by now you've probably also seen the EFF's legal guide for us. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer ]
Content warning: Anti-racist course for Admins and Moderators, info inside!
Really useful legal guide from the folks at the EFF for people running fediverse servers: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer (disclosure: I advised them on this work a bit)
@yingtai looks like a good start on DMCA related concerns! (From: skimming, searching for the acronyms, and from respect for the EFF's work.)
Now how do I get fediverse links to open in a way that I can favourite and bookmark and reblog from my account on a different instance? 🤔
@hugovdm I am told the pinafore.social interface can handle multiple instances?
And this extension is not what you are describing but I wonder if it can be wrangled into doing it. https://mstdn.social/@feditips/109507990803168318
Have you ever interacted with the website of another Mastodon server and found yourself having to re-enter your username and password, again and again? There's a new browser extension called FediAct which lets you directly interact with other servers' websites without having to log in again or copy/paste addresses. ➡️ Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fediact/lmpcajpkjcclkjbliapfjfolocffednm ➡️ Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fediact/ More info about it at: ➡️ https://github.com/Lartsch/FediAct The developer of FediAct is @[email protected]
@hugovdm I have just noticed that the Tusky app on Android gives me the option to open a post in an account on a different instance. It's in the "open as" option in the little three-dot menu on the post.
I finally tried that FediAct browser extension I mentioned to you, and it didn't do a thing for me.
Ah well!
@yingtai holy moly is that long thread awesome. I read from where you linked to its end. Looks like it started here: https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/105778289798706182 - I need to come back and read the first part. I ran a community for around 4 years, online/real-world hybrid, before it became necessary for me to retire. Learned several of those harder moderation lessons, didn't have good answers. Didn't have good support.
Did you do the online course you linked? I wonder if it gets to the really tricky stuff...
@hugovdm There is a Part 2 on his new account at
https://mstdn.social/@ifixcoinops/109354147264054179
And no, I did not do the course, only heard about it via that post.
I've learned a lot of Hideous Nonsense during the two decades I've run online communities, and I started posting that nonsense over on this thread on my old account: https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/105778289798706182 This thread continues right here, as soon as either I think of something else to add, or some new server admin does something foolish that I can point and cackle at.
@tilvids I have! At the time i wanted to register it together with Stuxhost but they won't let me do that lol..
I'm gonna figure out what the req is here in the Netherlands 
i like the idea
Would love to figure out a good model for this space. Most of my aspirations for #tilvids are to grow it large enough that it might have some full-time employees to help keep things running and bring on new creators, and then help them get started on their own instances once they grow large enough.
that's an oppertunity ☕@stux Thank you! It's much appreciated.
I'll continue to donate something every year I am using mstdn.social.
At least as much as Space Karen currently wants for a blue tick on the bird site.
@IPEdmonton I do
.coffee is not 'public' though so actually more like 2! It's a bit sm0ller one
I think it’s all here https://stux.info/links@skquinn I just reply with: "I offer you 65 million to leave me alone, how about that"
But as joke ofc It's not worth the replies 
Same with "sponsored post".. sooo much freaking mail about that
to you
@stux Do you have a plan of succession in place, for the contingency if you become either disabled, or die?
Unfortunately, all the personal character in the world doesn't do much good, if someone else 'inherits' the names/sites and doesn't share your convictions.
Maybe setup a non-profit org with a board of people that you can trust to carry on and not sell out?
