CW: Fediverse Meta, Complaining about Mastodon Defed Options (Again)
So apparently Authorized Fetch does, in fact, work with user-level blocks. :blobfoxthinkgoogly: With that being the case, why doesn't Mastodon have a defederation option where users have an instance blocked by default, but can choose to opt back into federation?
It'd be a really good way to protect user privacy with services like Threads (which doesn't support Authorized Fetch anyway, but still), without it being an outright defederation. With all the bemoaning of Fedi blocking Threads, it seems like that would've been the proper solution instead of telling server admins to suck it up and fork over all of their users' data. Also, for the record, CubHub has Threads blocked, and even if they didn't, they'd block us anyway since we allow porn (and not cub porn ya knobs).
It'd also be a better mechanism for dealing with bridges between here and BlueSky or Nostr, instead of demanding that the creators of those bridges build in their own opt-in mechanism instead, which still feels incredibly unreasonable to me when that features should be built into Mastodon.

Is the "Admins can read your DMs" thing seriously trending again? :corgi_wtf1: How many times is this gonna come up? The same way that Telegram, Twitter, FurAffinity, etc can all read your DMs, Fediverse admins can read your DMs if they go manually traverse the database for some insane reason. That warning when you start a DM isn't just there for show. I personally don't want to have a heavily limited and compromised social network that forces you to pass around encryption keys just to use it, so please just use a secure service like Signal or Matrix if you want to pass along sensitive messages.

Since #Mastodon is planning to change the name of the #Unlisted #visibility into "Low-key public" and this will affect like a million #fediverse users out there, I'm curious what you currently think about the name of this visibility setting.
Do you think "Unlisted" is clear enough right now, and should it be changed (and if so, to what)?

@jupiter_rowland I hadn’t really thought about it but since Tumblr itself is supposed to eventually get #ActivityPub support, they may actually end up being the first to do tag based CWs in the #Fedivese, especially if Tumblr users will be able to follow accounts outside of Tumblr. I hope this inspires some innovation!

As Twitter continues to experience issues (ideological and technical), people will be looking for a place to go. Would you support instances purchasing small ad campaigns on Twitter to let users know about mastodon as an alternative?
I’d love to read more about your opinion in the comments, too!

Are there ways that we can lighten the load on the #mastodon servers?
I've recently been nerding out about the image #compression choices/tools that "LOW<-TECH MAGAZINE" uses (low resolution, single channel, dithered pngs) and I'm wondering whether we should be thinking about that kind of stuff as we move away from the buffet of high-gloss video-centering social media sites...
How can we save money/energy @fosstodon?

So I whilst discussing #Mastodon with someone online last night, it crossed my mind that "Mastodonapp.uk", feels kind of cumbersome when referring to the instance... so I have a suggestion: Why not shorten it to MAUK? 😹 When greeting new members to the instance, we welcome them to MAUK...
What do you think? Do you like the idea of being a member of #MAUK?
