There’s a terrorist attack underway at a shopping center and concert hall outside Moscow. At least a dozen people killed, reportedly three gunmen, explosions. Videos on social media show bloodied, dead bodies and panic.

Hey @elk! On Elk my lists are not sorted alphabetically. I number them so on Mastodon they show up in the order I want. Is this something that is on the roadmap for Elk? Thanks!

. @Xepher_X @pixelfed Maybe I will ping @dansup and @Gargron here re: #CreativeCommons licenses and #Fediverse content ingestion by commercial entities

I know there's a lot of people on the fediverse that feel very differently, but I'm excited about #Threads finally testing #fediverse integration with a public beta. The amount of people I've seen on Threads asking what the fediverse is since this was announced is staggering. If nothing else, I think this will help bring the wider fediverse more into the mainstream.

Still working with the Threads team on stats (not sure if they can provide them yet)

I'm curious what type of traffic that mastodon.social will start seeing from Threads now that fediverse posting has been enabled.

Grow Your Own Services 🌱Mar 20, 2024

There is now an easy-to-use managed hosting service for making your own XMPP/Jabber server. It's run by @snikket_im and is at:

➡️ https://snikket.org

XMPP is a federated instant messaging platform (it looks like Whatsapp but it's federated like Mastodon). It's also end-to-end encrypted as long as everyone in the conversation is using an XMPP app with support for the "OMEMO" standard.

The pricing depends on your region but it's similar to Mastodon server costs.
