If you've just joined mastoson/the fediverse (or have not been there a while) you can always ask questions in this thread or in DM.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Tabletop.social has been update and is now running Mastodon 4.5.0.

That means that we have "Quote toot" enabled.

Sadly they also come enabled by default, and you would need to disable it yourself if you want to avoid people using it without your consent.

Head to the Preferences -> "Posting defaults".
The 2nd drop down "Who can quote" then can to be set to "Just me".

❗ Don't forget to hit the save button at the top of the page for the change top take effect.

You can quote this toot.

Heads up: no admin will ask you to click a link to "verify" your account.
There is no such things as verified accounts.

We might ask you for a photo a pet in your life.
Or to share the name of a board game you enjoy.
Or a picture of a cool rock you found.

And that's like, just something you might want to consider doing, like that would be cool if you want to share that with us, no pressure.

(and do report the scammers if they are in your mentions)

PSA: there's a new spam campaign hitting fedi, this one claims to be raising money for insulin and usually has a banner saying "black lives matter" or another progressive slogan.

You can recognize it in the usual ways:
1. Brand-new accounts doing nothing but ask for money.
2. Cold-messaging strangers with personal requests for a boost or donation.
3. Identical or near-identical accounts appearing all over fedi, primarily on open-registration instances.

If you see these accounts or get pinged by them, don't panic! Just report the profile and let your moderators handle it. The image below is an example of what to look out for.

Update: the spammers have adjusted their format a bit, see these posts for details:

Update 2: This particular round of spam also has a new trick, which is immediately blocking remote instance staff after they create an account. Fortunately, this does not prevent them from being reported! Just continue to report as usual, and moderators can view the content through their report UI (on Mastodon / Akkoma) or by switching accounts (on Misskey / Sharkey).

Would anyone has a cURL command to upload an emoji to a mastodon instance ?

I cannot face uploading 181 emojis by hand, and I do not have access to the tootctl emoji import command.

(I was sure glitch-soc had the feature of bulk upload at some point but I must be wrong)
