Honestly this is evil enough Mastodon
itself should issue regular warnings.👈
Including importantly to new users, 👈
during the setup and joining process.👈

*** MAINTENANCE COMPLETE ***

Mastodon Belgium & Vlaanderen are now fully upgraded: backend servers patched and frontend servers rocking Mastodon v4.4.1 !

The DB server is still crunching through the database and might attempt to strangle me later, but all in all the upgrade went really well !
The goal was one hour but mediastorage took quite a while to check its filesystems.
And compiling Ruby etc took its time as well.
But WE'RE HERE !

As you might have read: Mastodon v4.4.0 has been released !

This is a new major release with a big changelog and hefty upgrade process, so we'll wait a bit before upgrading, contrary to previous v4.3.x upgrade patches.

When we upgrade to v4.4.0 we'll also upgrade the backend servers and that will cause a longer downtime.

Our test server is already running the new v4.4.0 code so we'll see how that one runs.

For those who are still following (and might have noticed a brief hickup in service): Mastodon Belgium and Mastodon Vlaanderen are now running the latest v4.3.9 code !

Mastodon v4.4 is around the corner, very excited for that final release !

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:

*edit: I checked again with their entire address and found them! Woot!

* another edit: they have applied for beige! They have applied for beige! We might get another beige party member! Yay! Pretty much disregard the rest of the post even though I'm going to leave it up.

**************

One of my friends in real life joined mastodon yesterday! 🥳

Unfortunately, they chose an instance that this one blocks or isn't federated with (mastodon.social).

I can see them from my other accounts, but not from this one.

Maybe I can entice them over to beige once they get their bearings.

Freund"innen und Kumpel*innen davon zu überzeugen, doch mal das Fediverse auszuprobieren...

Ich komme mir vor wie die klische Veganer*innen die immer alle von einer veganer Lebensweise überzeugen wollen.

(Und beides ist besser!)

📅 In the Mastodon Discord, you can now see a curated list of events that are correlated to the fediverse in some way - a specific track, session, speaker or entire conferences about the topic. Mastodon staff are listed that will be there in some official or unofficial manner. Cool!

Eh, dude.

The #Bluesky and #Mastodon pages have got more followers than the #Twitter page. Thank you to those who have given feedback and boosted our posts (and memes). But more importantly, thank you to postal voters who have #VoteGreen and those who are #VotingGreen on election day. #DeleteTwitter #JoinMastodon #XDissenter

On our bird and nature walk this morning two people mentioned that they have stopped using their Facebook accounts. I preached the One True Faith of Mastodon.

Not sure they will be signing up for accounts, but one of them had never heard of it and now she has.
