...honestly i feel like this would be easy to do with even just a *skin* on top of mastodon
Anyone here thinking of building a few Fediverse bots? I would be interested to hear about them.
And this might be useful to you:

Do blocked email domains include subdomains of those emails?
#mastoadmin
Lot of new bot accounts are putting a single random emoji at the end of their display name in hope of blending in.
#mastoadmin
while i understand the privacy angle, i wish there was a way to identify moderation requests coming from the same person (not a name, just a stable id) – and an ability to block reports identified by such marker.
right now mastodon offers a nuclear option, i.e. either accepting reports from a […]
It's funny how some people say they joined because our instance is Finnish. It's true that I'm Finnish and our servers are located in Finland, but we don't promote ourselves as a Finnish instance, nor are we otherwise tied to Finland.
English is my second and quite dominant language, and half […]
#FediBlock @atlas_autonomous - yet ANOTHER slop machine hooked up to a Fedi account. why do people keep doing this. what makes them think this is okay

Moving my sites over to the Gentoo server slowly. Have to get the dependencies installed and files moved from the current Ubuntu server to the new one. Aside from some pita that is the databases this shouldn't be a problem.
The problem will come when I start moving […]
Profile in Mastodon Bird UI
@stefan My verdict currently:
Compactness 👍
Logic changes and toggles 👎
I've been preferring the "show all at once with the least clicks" approach on my UI. I really don't know what was wrong with the old sidebar hashtag approach.
#Mastodon #MastodonUI #MastoAdmin
a lot of signups from subdomains of io.vn
is that a real place to get an email address? seems to probably be spammers.
#mastoadmin
The sign-up sources of the Mastodon admin panel, showing the client applications used to create accounts on the service, one of which is "SEO Article Bot"
I would love it if I could query the database to find the account using a given app so that, for example, I can pin down whoever's using "SEO Article Bot" and politely nuke them from orbit.
As a managed-hosted service I don't have easy access to the database or […]

fediblock seems like a good username to add to username blocks.

Is there a recent guide on migrating your mastodon s3 from one provider to another? Last time I did this was prob 2019 so idk if anything has changed. #mastoadmin

Updated to v4.5.8!
And done a few things to try to tame #footiMac so she doesn't get grumpy and go all unresponsive again!

Όσο εσείς περιμένετε να ανοίξει η πλατφόρμα για το fuel pass που ο πολυχρονεμένος μας ηγέτης σας δίνει απλόχερα και μάλιστα με σύγχρονα μέσα ψηφιακής διακυβέρνησης και όχι κάτι κωλόχαρτα στο χέρι σαν τα μετρητά, εμείς οι ταπεινοί sysadmins σας αναβαθμίσαμε στην v4.5.8 του Mastodon. Διαφορές δεν […]

anyone have any magic tricks that can remotely kick a Debian server that is completely timing out over ssh due to (i believe) multiple failing ssh connections and possibly extremely slow response time from thrashing/diskIO?
It is definitely alive on the local network and accessibly, but all […]
hmm. #footiMac that hosts my personal instance @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca appears to be unresponsive. cause unknown.
And I am not at home to check on it. why is it always when you are away??
#mastoAdmin
Hey guys, you read my troubles with developing an ActivityPub / Mastodon multibot instance yesterday? Well, I got it working in the end and have already migrate four bots and added another two to it.
And here is the code that I open source now:

Estoy considerando muy seriamente el comenzar #MastodonVenezuela desde cero. :masto_vzla
Siento que comenzó una federación enorme en sus comienzos que terminó saturando demasiado la base de datos.
Fue totalmente mi culpa, no tenía los conocimientos suficientes sobre la federación y la […]
It looks like I am getting an increase in connection refused errors for mastodon-streaming. Could it be load related? Amount of video coming in?
Any thoughts on tuning it or place to look to resolve?
Happy to RTFM if someone has thoughts on where to look.

OK, quoting finally works!

Thanks, Mastodon. Out of 225 followers, only 150 have been properly moved.
beware, that Mastodon migrations sucks as others have evidenced in past.

Some progress on having my own bots instance as manual registration at mastodon.social is pain.
I clearly have a discoverable bot that is able to follow... Need to test posting and other features.
