I love complicating non-tech with tech. Overly proud husband and father.

Serverless at a cloud place.

.NET, new gopher.

Opinions are mine.

It's neat how things change over time. In the old days people used to have a picture of their loved ones or a dream they wanted to achieve for motivation on their desk or dashboard and these days they have a livestream of some lettuce they're trying to outlast.

Do you need to move to a new Mastodon server?

I think the shift by the general public to Mastodon may be historically significant beyond just social media because it's a shift away from centralization and back towards distributed services. I'm hoping this trend continues in general for Internet services.

This story about Elon's birthday cake is incredible.

I genuinely wish I could see inside Musk’s head or at least get an explanation for how he was thinking his plans would work out. Like it’s clear now he is fantastically out of touch with reality but…

Really tempted to set up a "delete all" rule in my email for anything mentioning "Black Friday"

@wolfsilveroak I can't imagine anything worse than being part of a community dominated by the kind of white people who only want each other's company.

The moderation team is bigger than ever and so is the amount of reports we have to process. We're dealing with unprecedented growth despite having closed registrations on these servers weeks ago. Some false positives are unavoidable, but we understand these mistakes are upsetting and unacceptable, and we are trying to do better. Luckily all moderator actions can be appealed and reversed.

There were two notable moderation incidents on mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the past 24 hours that I would like to address. In the first, a post was wrongfully removed due to a report claiming it contained a dogwhistle, and in the second, a person was wrongfully suspended due to a report claiming it's an impersonator. Both were undone and apologies issued.

I'm happy to say that I've now onboarded another iOS developer for our app, and we are set on making another update to the app as soon as possible. I've also onboarded the first batch of new moderators for this server.
