Hmm... #techhub seems to be having some sort of middleman-related outage... possibly Cloudflare or some other spam/security service acting up...

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

With all the firings in the #usmilitary when #Trump came in, and the chaotic policy changes and attempts to railroad members of marginalized groups out, and now the issues with the straight white males he and #hegsworth rushed to replace them with, and are now firing, I wonder how badly #us […]

I've said again and again that I consider it to be of the utmost importance that the #fediverse grows far beyond its present size. My reasoning is thus: All major commercial social media platforms are either owned by #fascists , or by people who are only too happy to bend their knees to the […]

#fascists in Public: "#mamdani and #aoc are #socialists and that somehow means they are going to overthrow #Democracy and use the #government to murder #american #Citizens." Fascists in the #epsteinfiles: "We should overthrow democracy and use the government to murder American Citizens." Golly […]

RE: https://podcastindex.social/@js/115605353888237209 I see that massive drop at the end for Microsoft, and I blame the Windows 10 / 11 shenanigans.

Thought about the #epsteinfiles, because I'm seeing too many people say that we shouldn't judge people for what they said to #epstein in private emails... Remember that he wasn't just a convicted child sex trafficker, he was someone with huge amounts of money and influence. Conversations with […]

@cacaahhblud Very Clever Username there.

No @fpeisgemmy, 6 7 is true gem.

Early takeaway from some of these #epsteinfiles we're seeing, on top of the rich and powerful pedos we're seeing outed, there's also vindication of a lot of #metoo accusers as the people who claimed innocence talk shit with #epstein himself, and - even more worth looking at I think - the heroism […]

Random Non-Controversial Take: I don't think agreeing with or liking other staff members is a prerequisite for working and collaborating with them. If we worried about whether we liked the people running other servers, rather than if they meet our minimum moderation requirements, it'd be hard […]

Cloudflare Outage Moment

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

Y'all it's Fedi FWednesday

Went to a church today, Pastor said something interesting... "#mutualaid is not #charity. Charity flows Downwards, from the wealthy to the needy. Mutual Aid flows Outwards, from members of a community to others. When the people in government say 'we're not here for you', we're saying, 'You're […]

Our Priorities: "More Rights, Mpre Accountability, Better Living Standards, Democracy." Republican Priorities: "Scary Brown Man won a local mayor election!" (He hasn't even assumed office) https://nypost.com/2025/11/07/us-news/house-gop-clash-over-ludicrous-bill-to-defund-nyc-under-mamdani/

Gotta love The Guardian for those quotes from Europeans on #mamdani's win in NYC: "Verbeek backed this with a comment he had overheard in an Oslo cafe, in which Mamdani was described as an American politician who “finally” sounded normal." “Normal. That’s the word,” Verbeek wrote in his […]

So I was going to say that the one thing I agree with Speaker #mikejohnson about was that what happened wasn't unexpected, that #democrats won in "blue" States last night, but I just looked something up... #virginia isn't a blue state. It's #governor #elections seem to follow a trend for the […]

TFW he tells you he gonna run that workload on an i3. Like, brah, how you gonna do that when u can't even run Firefox tabs? (Corporate Moment: "bUt ThE rYzEn 5 iS mOrE eXpEnSiVe!!") #cpu #computer #Funny

Trying not to watch the #nyc #mayor #Election too closely: the polls close in 15 minutes, and what's done is done. If NYC voters assumed #mamdani would win, and didn't turn out enough to override the people the oligarchy had once again poured their billions in to trick into voting against their […]

#hottake: #amd may not have real competition from #intel in terms of product price-to-power right now, but they may not be able to afford to be less competitive than that, considering all the deals Intel has made to keep their #cpus relevant with the OEM market...

_"Sometimes, things are just gay, and you can't explain it."_

Honestly, right about now, I'm glad I didn't spend time trying to build #bluesky as a network, and just focused on #fediverse... A lot of them are whining that they don't want to move again, but it seems we'll see an influx from them soon anyway. Better be ready!

Yeah spambots, I'm sure there are people following the #onlyfans tag, and that they'll legitimately click your tinyurl link. :blobcoffeeraccoon:

Watching the latest mods-vs-mods #fedidrama unfolding on FediBlock, glad I'm not getting involved. :blobcoffeeraccoon: (Seriously though, I don't have the time or energy to get involved in anything right now, but if y'all ever want someone to mediate in the future, feel free to ask me) […]

Quick #psa reminder that a lot of #News sources (even on Fedi) which seem like they're going to inform you are more just #propoganda made to sensationalize, to either make you afraid or angry or make you feel superior or powerful. You are not immune to this propoganda, and I know I've been […]

#nyc #mayorelection is getting close. #mamdami supporters, now is the time to mobilize. Don't make the common mistake of assuming the #polls are going to hold and be accurate when the #Election happens. If you know people who are on the fence about Mamdami, talk to them: there's a lot of […]

what's an AWS and how do I get rid of it - sent from my selfhosted fedi server

what's a good queer/nsfw/hacker friendly server host in the eu?

Wild to me that there are so many #websites my phone can ONLY view using #firefox with the built-in #Adblock-like features. When did the norm become jamming video #ads in after every paragraph AND stuck to the top and bottom of the screen? At what point is anyone even looking at these rather […]

A #psa about Hashtags like #FediBlock and #instanceblock, and your own mental wellbeing... Sometimes I see users getting upset about things they read about on the FediBlock tag: most of us are posting some of the most vile things written by the most disturbed people on the network. Much of it […]

Feeling dumb that I just did it on a form I can't edit, so I'm going to say it out loud... Remember to refer to it it as "Putinist" or "Putin Regime", rather than saying things that imply it's somehow Russia itself, to make sure that we are making clear that our grievance is not with the […]

Golly, @probableprime.bsky.social followed me. I didn't know I had the ear of #resonite programmers, but that sure does make me feel elated. :3

Seeing how #fediantisemitism can be useful as a tag (not getting into the cases where I think it's a false positive), I'd like to see something like that for other #moderation issues we see on the #fediverse. I propose we start using the tags #fediracism, #fediqueerphobia, and #feditransphobia […]

#andrewcuomo is blaming #curtissliwa for the fact that he's not winning, despite the fact that #zohranmamdani has 55% in the polls and is favored as a second choice by Sliwa voters anyway. Maybe #cuomo should blame himself for not keeping his damn pants on, and if he's so worried about #mamdani […]

Another big crack in my phone's screen protector, and I once again don't know where thst came from, but once again, that means it's doing its job.
