  6. I never use the application names in any of my servers because I'm always worried about future trademark enforcement.

    The Mastodon organization guidelines at joinmastodon.org/trademark say:

    Do not use or register, in whole or in part, the Mastodon marks as part of your own or any other trademark, service mark, domain name, company name, trade name, product name, or service name.

    When I search the database here for instances known to this server that contain "mastodon" in their domain names, I see over 1,800 server names. And it's unknown if they would consider "mstdn" to be a violation as well.

    I wonder how far they will push this enforcement. A Mastodon server cannot change its domain name.

  16. #Pachli Current now highlights the hashtags you follow. Within a post any hashtags you follow are shown in bold. The info area above a post shows a hash-marker and the first followed tag in the post.

    This helps answer the "Why is this post in my timeline?" question.

    The attached screenshot shows an example with the #mastodev hashtag.

    Thanks to @neatnit, @_nibbles, and @quaff for the suggestions about this.

  17. Ich erlebe hier auf #Mastodon immer wieder, dass Leute meine Beiträge kommentieren, auf deren Kommentare ich nicht antworten kann und deren Profil für mich „nicht verfügbar“ ist. Leider zeigt Mastodon nicht an, wenn man blockiert worden ist. Mich stört dies sehr. #mastodev

  18. Tried to make a little Mastodon plaything that scrapes a curated set of local timelines to see whats hot on Mastodon.

    I know the Trending Hashtags page exists on Mastodon but it never feels accurate to me.

    Anyway, the thing I made isn't accurate either because there are so many bots posting using the same tags and its so much work to exclude them all.

    Also, so many people don't add hashtags to their toots. And a full-text scrape is intense.

    🤷

  19. "Not using AI code analyzers in your project means that you leave adversaries and attackers time and opportunity to find and exploit the flaws you don’t find."

    I'm _very_ worried for #MastoDev and other open source projects where maintainers are taking an irrational position on the use of LLMs.

  20. If your banger toot gets a bunch of boosts, consider not posting anything else for a day or so.
    Because if your banger toot appears in my feed more than a couple times, I am muting you for the day.
    Mastodon has no other way that works to stop that spam.
    Don't @ me with the "options", I've tried them and they do not work.

  22. Huh. Uploading an image with the exif tag `Description` populated does not automatically insert its content as ALT-text in the Mastodon web UI.

    That does seem like a pretty low hanging fruit, no?

    #MastoDev

  23. Wanted to check out #Smithereen? Well, now you can! I've just set up a demo server that lets you sign up for a temporary account to play around:

    try.smithereen.software

    #activitypub #mastodev

  24. I see why people may want to auto purge posts on Mastodon but that is unfair to people who reply or quote post, which leaves orphan replies and interactions with no context. It also leaves database entries and media that may come with interactions on servers.

    I think one option to be fair would be to create a post setting that marks a post with an icon or something warning people that it is subject to auto purging, giving people advance notice who then can decide to interact or not

    Post not made with the auto purge option can still be deleted but must be deleted manually.

    It would be great if manually deleted posts had a user panel that users could see and then manage their orphaned interactions.

  28. RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/116460

    I think Mastodon will strip image attachments from ActivityPub 'Question' objects.

    That is too bad.

    That means even if you create an 'Question' with 'Image' attachments elsewhere, you still won't see them in Mastodon (or in the Mastodon client-server API)

    I guess the work-around is to post a 'Note' with an 'Image' attachment(s), and then reply to it with a 'Question'. That feels clunkier, but doable

  33. RE: infosec.exchange/@brian_greenb

    Projects should move away from #GitHub for years, but some things are holding them back. Like (what I've heard) testing tools and dependencies. Come on devs, be more adventurous! And that includes our beloved @MastodonEngineering!

  38. Did you know @elk has a feature where we 'hide' the usernames you reply to for a cleaner & calmer UI?

    The line connecting responses in a thread is enough to indicate that it is part of the same conversation. However, we understand that sometimes users will want to see usernames tagged. This is why the behavior only happens on the usernames at the beginning of the reply, and if you want to show the tagged usernames, you can: tag them after or within the body of the reply. #mastodev

  39. # Pachli 3.5.0 is released
