RE: #Mastodon's TOS update
So I use raindrop io and iOS Reading List, two bookmarking services that offer off-line reader ability.
Am I to believe I can no longer bookmark mastodon dot social posts without the threat of being banned?
Also, is #InternetArchive now banned from archiving mastodon dot social posts?
Raphus Social 🦤 is a better bird site, a safe and inclusive place for bringing together open minded people interested in technology, open source, games, and other general geekery. (In case you are wondering, "Raphus" is Latin for the dodo 🙂)
This server has an extended post size of 1024 characters and up to 8 poll options.

Just moved from fosstodon to fediscience.
This is the third time I've moved #Mastodon instances! I've never wanted to move, but there have been compelling reasons each time.
I am always impressed at how seamless it has been every time I have moved instances.
My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host
https://mikecoats.com/migrating-to-masto-host/
I migrated my Mastodon server from a self-hosted DigitalOcean droplet to an instance provided by Masto.host. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour.
Hello World!
I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).
I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .
I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.
What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?
I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.
I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Möchte allen danken, die sich in den letzten Jahren im #Fediversum bloggend eingebracht haben. Ob #Mikroblogging auf #Mastodon oder Drukos zu #Blogposts, eigene #Blogs - die Zukunft gehört dem freien Netz statt irgendeinem Datenkonzern. Habe große Accounts auf #Facebook, #Insta, X hinter mir gelassen - und es nicht bereut. Danke, sehr! 🙏🤓📚🌈 #Wissenschaft #Dialog #Demokratie #KIFediversum https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/vom-bloggen-vloggen-das-ki-fediversum-durchbricht-auch-sprachgrenzen/

If you're only using Mastodon through the official mobile apps, you're missing out on many of its features such as pinned posts, temporary mutes, scheduled posts, different poll types, account redirects and more.
If you want the complete Mastodon experience, you might want to try using your server's website, third party apps, web apps, desktop apps etc.
More info on all the different ways of accessing Mastodon in the guide here:

Here's a very brief tip for the more techy people on here:
You can use Mastodon (and compatible servers) through command lines and text-based interfaces with the free open source client "toot":
There are lots more details on the developer's website.

Hey new people, you don't have to use the official Mastodon app! There are lots of other options you can use such as third party apps etc. People who try these alternatives usually prefer them.
Unlike most social networks, Mastodon doesn't impose any particular app on you. You're free to use your account in whatever way works best for you.
Here is a guide to all your options:

You can be logged in with the same account on many apps at once 🙂

So a short infographic I've been working based on the talks I've had over the weekend and when the 5 cups of coffee finally left my body.
Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳
The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!
Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!
The Services
Mastodon
Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!
PeerTube
The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!
WriteFreely
We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.
The Rules
We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.
We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.
In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.
Legal Status
All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.
Further Reading
We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail:
