When we released post editing for #Mastodon, we first released a version that supported processing and displaying edits incoming from other servers, before releasing a version that flipped a switch allowing anyone to make edits. We're taking an identical approach with quote posts, as the upcoming 4.4 version of Mastodon will begin displaying quote posts from other servers and software. Once this is widely deployed on the network, 4.5 will bring the long awaited ability to quote posts.

There is a new tool called Splinter which makes it easier to create Mastodon threads. You enter the full text and it splits it up and posts it as a thread automatically (it also has options for manual splitting).

Techy people can self-host Splinter if they prefer, the source code is at https://codeberg.org/neiman/splinter and its author is @neiman

J'avais vu passer une critique de BlueSky sur l'aspect données personnelles collectées (notamment par l'appli), ça vous dit un truc ?
Does anyone know of alternative styles for the default web app when "advanced web interface" mode is activated with v4.3.x - it's too wide (mainly the "getting started" column has problems wrapping...) and typo too large for me.
PS: my question is not about using other interfaces such as Trunks or Elk or...

#Mastodon we have a problem with link embedding bypassing control mechanisms for exposure to shit, and showing unsollicited pictures (say, of a real bastard making a nazi gesture), without the possibility to filter that out a priori (unless people who post these links realize by themselves this displays the picture and use a CW -- but they may not be aware of this when they post, as it takes time for the embedding to show up after a post).
Yesterday I had to remove a link from one of my toots after realizing a posteriori what the embedding was showing.

🥳 Announcing Splinter, your #fediverse tool for creating #Mastodon threads.
Splinter is a simple, self-explanatory app. It's a fun, non-profit, open-source side project.
I use Splinter all the time myself now; There must be others who need it. Please share to help them find it!
With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.
On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:
🚀 The Future is Federated - issue no.13 👩🚀
"The #Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same."

#Mastodon is the powerful war rig in the #Fediverse army against the axis of biased social networks; #snac is the little buffon back there in the rearguard, playing their old-fashioned lute and making silly jokes.

Hey everyone! Just FYI, I am going to be changing my username on here to @ cyberseckyle. Of course, as y'all know, I am going to have to create a new account. 😒
Be on the lookout for this change and me refriending you during the upcoming days.
Thanks!

Willkommen ihr Neuen im #Fediverse
Es gibt gerade so viele Neuanmeldungen im Fediverse, vor allem auf #Mastodon. Schön, dass ihr hier seid! Falls ihr euch noch fragt, was das hier eigentlich alles ist und kann, ich habe ein älteres kurzes #Erklärvideo von mir ausgegraben, das einen kleinen Überblick gibt:
I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...
Helloooo! Let's try this #introduction #mastodon.. #newhere
I'm Caroline from The Netherlands, have been eyeing all the beautiful #photography accounts (amongst others)
Hope to connect on this platform!
Other interests: #sleeptoken #coffee #sarcasm #mentalhealth #psychology #science #sciencefunfacts #metalmusic #blues #soul #love #kindness #helpingothers and so on
I'm not, in any way, shape or form a photographer but here are some shots 😆

There's a special place in hell reserved for those who unleash spam or DDoS attacks on non-profits and independent #Mastodon instances. It's like kicking puppies in a digital playground. These instances are often lovingly nurtured by individuals in the community spirit, offering a refuge from the Big Tech. Why anyone would want to rain on their parade with spam or try to knock them offline with a DDoS attack is beyond me. It just doesn't make any sense. Also, donate to your instances if you can.
I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.
It's a bit like flushing the toilet.

I just launched a new shirt design! Purchasing one of these ensures two things:
1. You look awesome.
2. You support this Retro Gaiden Mastodon instance 
I have more ideas for future designs, but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out!

Feel free to check out the other designs in the store.

New #Introduction post!
Hello I'm Noelle! I'm a blogger and reader who also plays musical instruments (guitar, keyboard) and takes photos. I believe that Meta and Google are not only killing the planet through their data centers but also democracy through the division their products have created. They are also taking over our lives by how much time we spend a day with their products (email, social media, YouTube).
