Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #universeodon, aggregated by home.social.

  1. It looks like the #Universeodon relay has gone down due to an issue on the host it's running on. Apologies other #MastoAdmin 's out there. It's rebooting now and I need to do some digging to see why the host restarted in the first place. Apologies for any disruption.

    It's also taken down our #FullTextSearch on #MastodonAppUK and some other core services on MastodonAppUK so I'm looking into this all now.

    Are we the enema of the

    Canz I spell? Of course. I iz magick, not mindless. Well in terms of
    #Buddhist #dharma I am mostly 'armless and un-minded. Probably need a minder. I could be so good for you with my own instance of servers. Working on it, honest injun. 🪶 Which is a phrase politically unloaded.

  5. Asking for recommendations:

    I'm looking for a new instance. #universeodon has become essentially unusable since Byron's departure and the recent server migration. A mix of timeouts, server failures, and just missing posts. I've been supporting it via Patreon so am more than willing to support a new server.

    What i'd like is stability and reasonable performance. An interesting local feed is a bonus. Not looking for an instance based on a single interest group or one that's highly ideological.

    Suggestions?

    (Now we'll see if this actually posts and if I'm actually able to see replies.)

  7. Does #Elk share rate limiting for all accounts using it?

    Getting this error for elk.universeodon.com
    "ERROR: MastoHttpRateLimitError: Too many requests"

    @supernovae any clues?
    I don't think I overused it more than regular scrolling.

  8. Figured out a way to make #BirdUI by @rolle compatible on #Firefox on #Android for any #Mastodon instance!

    Instructions:
    1. Install the approved extension #TamperMonkey from the Firefox addon menu.
    2. Add the #UserScript extension from here greasyfork.org/en/scripts/4707

    There may be better ways to do this but it seems to work fine. Let me know if I messed something up... 😅
    Added Universeodon and Mastodon dot Social for now but easy to add more.

  9. CW: meta fediverse/mastodon drama

    Let me get this straight:

    FIRST: A mastodon instance (mastodon.art) defederated from another mastodon instance (universeodon.com) because of the following reasons:

    - Implementing full text search, which they felt made their users unsafe, and didn't provide enough warnings
    - Caring more about growth than carefully curated moderation
    - Meeting Meta behind the scenes (you can see in the linked response that people in the Fediverse was
    not happy with the server owner)
    - Being concerned about removing the ability to report users

    They also made a blog post publicly stating this:
    https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/defederating-from-universeodon so it's not like I'm pulling this out of my arse.

    SECOND: msdn.social, a big instance, decide to defederate because they didn't like the idea of someone defederating from an instance
    just because they spoke to Meta.

    THIRD: The instance admin from msdn.social has said that they would not block first, but check out this new instance and then act if they misbehave.

    FOURTH: lots of poop being flung.

    ---

    This was such a badly mishandled set of events. Here are my thoughts:

    * Universeodon can do what they want. It's their instance. If they want growth at the sake of everything else, go for it. I'm just less likely to want to go there.
    * Mastoodn.art can do what they want. It's their instance. It's clear that they prioritise careful curation, and it seems they are very sensitive to that. They also host a lot of LGBT content too, so that's maybe where the sensitivities lie. Also, they are anti-capitalists. If people don't like that, they can move (although they seem to be doign v. well)
    * Msdn.social can do whatever they like. HOWEVER - their response feels incredibly knee-jerky and seems at complete odds to what they say. Defederating from an instance for the crime of... defederating against another instance and then saying defederation is not the way unless the instance is misbehaving (Defedding isn't something I would consider misbehaving - it may not be in the spirit, but it's within their power).

    It would've been better if the admin of mstn.social just publicly critiicised mastodon.art instead for their administative techniques instead of doing the thing they seemed to be so against, and in favour of a corporation (especially with the Fediverse - community full of and mostly ran by average people who are sick of corporations)

  10. Some thoughts about #fullsearch of federated-with instances. 🧵 1/2

    1. Conflating any ill will you have with Supernovae at
    #Universeodon, with the issue of search indexing on the Fediverse to justify your fediblock won't help resolve the issues around search.

    2. It isn't global search. While we shout, lock down, and don't participate in building the additions to our protocols that the
    #Fediverse needs, we've been letting #Google index the Fediverse. It's already searchable and Google's new Perspectives tab is going to make it even easier. Maybe we could fight that rather than keep thinking it doesn't exist and continuing to write ineffective Facebook-viral style "I do not give permission..." copypasta?

    3. The
    #Fediverse does not respect your do-not-index-my-posts flag. It never has. It can't. It's not supported by the #Mastodon API, as @[email protected] explains, and nor is it supported at #ActivityPub level and will need to be added into a new AP protocol.

    Every instance server from the #Misskey (#Calckey, #Foundkey), #Pleroma (#Akkoma), and #Friendica (#Hubzilla, #Streams) lineages has full search of federated-with instances as default. All these services actually pre-date the creation of Mastodon in 2016 you can read @[email protected] 's post for their commentary on such. Fediblock all of them to create your very own #Mastoverse or you could become part of building a better, safer, Fediverse? Perhaps through participating in the Fediverse Enhancement Proposals? #FEP

  15. It's kind of both equally sad and equally hilarious to see some folks in the #Mastoverse raging about Universeodon are genuinely shook to suddenly discover that the wider #Fediverse has had federated #search available for years.

    When you get told that Mastodon=Fediverse and that its culture and capabilities are those of the wider Fediverse, well this is the ignorance you can expect. Many of the same folks screaming about indexing, and pushing the fediblock, still have not offered
    any solutions to Google already indexing everything - much wider scope than #Universeodon, or those of use on #Misskey, #Calckey, #Akkoma, etc, can achieve and it's searchable from the public web.

  16. Guess I'll start with an #introduction toot.
    Came here from the #BirdApp. Have had enough of the changes made to that platform. I don't give a damn about the number of likes, or impressions I receive. I'm tired of adverts interwoven in the stream of posts. Most of all - I'm sick of the #ChiefTwitt doing monkey business.
    Enough of all this rage. I'm here to start anew and I intend to make a positive contribution to #Universeodon... Hell, to the whole #Fediverse! Hope an occasional rant won't put you off interacting with me.

  17. If you haven't been #following me for a few weeks, or before I moved to #Universeodon, you probably haven't seen this one before.

    I wrote about a recent Tinnitus flair up the other day and recently put it on my #Medium. My #Tinnitus (ear #ringing) been acting up again the last few days so I wanted to share it again. If you don't have tinnitus, be really thankful. It's not the most fun condition to live with. If you do have it, I feel you. Hang in there.

  29. Wonderful to see @profbriancox, an extraordinary physicist, musician, writer, and science presenter on #Universeodon!

    In case you haven't seen it, or wish to have another look, here is his hilarious encounter with the late Prof. Stephen Hawking after a performance of #GalaxySong by #EricIdle of #MontyPython at London's O2 Arena in 2014:

  30. #Question for the old guard here: I joined the #universeodon.com without understanding the whole instance thing (it looked cool & I am a scifi nerd) should I change instances to better reflect my involvement on #Mastadon (I am the creator of #Dogmageddon & #DogmageddonContinues ) or is ok for me to plant my flag here permanently?
