For my part, I've always seen them as something at the discretion of the author. As the reader, you have a plethora of tools to disengage from unwanted content on Mastodon—with even better filters coming in 4.0—and harassment is not one of them. People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them.

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

Ik wil toch wel even mijn dank uitspreken voor het hele team van Mastodon voor het harde werk van de afgelopen dagen. Het platform werkt nu echt super snel.

Complimenten! 👏🙏

Laten we er wat moois van maken!

199,430 is the number of new users across different Mastodon servers since October 27, along with 437 new servers. This bring last day's total to 608,837 active users, which is without precedent the highest it's ever been for Mastodon and the fediverse.
Instead of rewarding content creators who actually make your platform, you are letting them pay. Forcing them to leave.
But I do understand. 44 billion is a lot of money and the ROI doesn't seem very positive lately.

This tip had a lot of traction on The Other Site, so I'm gonna share it here too.

On windows, hitting ctrl+shift+windows key+b forces DWM to rebuild and can get you out of screen freezes without restarts.

Thank me later!

From 8 cores to 36 cores processing power, let's see how the new database server holds up. Hopefully everything will be much faster from now on, but it should also give me a bit more room to scale horizontally.
