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 ❤️

@stux Am now sad I didn’t know about mastodon.coffee when picking an instance… ☕️
@profanemystic  it's closed signups for now haha 😇 handling 2 big instances is enough work for me for now 
@stux I'm interested in the social side of hosting instances: is there some mutual support in learning about moderation challenges, legal concerns, and the like? (And also wondering about sysadmin/SRE-ey things, but I guess that's "business as usual" for the kinds of people running instances?)

@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 ]

@hugovdm came across some legal stuff, may be relevant to you? https://friend.camp/@darius/109552266752779268

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 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!

@hugovdm OMG the FediAct extension just started working. I have no idea why, but hurray! Just wanted to correct the record since I maligned it. :)
