Hi mastodon community at large, I’ve been hearing that some folks are worried that SESTA suddenly makes it legally fraught to run a mastodon instance as an American.

Has anyone done a comprehensive analysis of this? What’s real and what’s not?

It seems that the 'Hide everything from _domain_' does not work if you already follow them, so their updates are in your timeline.

Very interesting and a bit surprising. I guess, it's an example of user expectation of a feature vs reality.

Hi all,

Eleven is a music player for Android that is available via F-Droid. The maintainer of the repo for the F-Droid version is looking for someone to claim it.

The player is a no-frills local music player solution that still has lots of room to grow.

Use this thread to claim it: https://gitlab.com/ymber/Eleven/issues/12#note_63740457

RT @aantonop@twitter.com: The CLOUD Act passed. It destroys privacy globally, so it had to be snuck into the $1.3 trillion omnibus without debate.

Encrypt. Encrypt. Encrypt. Go Dark.

When privacy is criminalized, only criminals have privacy. We got sold out, again.

More people in the FOSS community need to look at AI and deep learning. If we're not involved, AI will be proprietary.

Did you know that you can opt out of search indexing via your account settings?

It's a really nice value-add if you'd prefer your toots don't get indexed by search engines.

PSA

Please know that administration and moderation of an online community is a thankless, never ending job.

It can brutalize a person, few are ever thanked or appreciated and it can be a terrible source of burn out for those 'in charge'.

Please be kind to your admin/moderation team(s) and thank them now and again.

Kind words and a simple 🤗 go a long, long way towards their continued heath.

I follow and re-toot a lot of things, but secretly I have been following three friends on here because they make me feel like a good human being. They validate a lot of the social acceptance criteria i've been trying to hold myself to for a long while.

I wont go through the embarrassing part of spotlighting you, but you three know who you are. Stay awesome.
