new #instance #introduction post!

hey y'all, I'm Sky (ae/aer pronouns)!

my main profile: @sky@cyberpunk.lol

I'm a #nonbinary #transfem person living in rural #Virginia

I'm mixed white and #indigenous (my grandmother on my father's side was #native american, Patawomeck to be exact), though I pass for white, so I generally don't talk about it to avoid the "1/16th" comments

#foss and #opensource are my lifeblood

#linux lover, and I love both #gnome and #kde

big fan of #pokemon and #digimon, and (slowly) working on an open-source monster collecting game

#polyamorous, I have a wife and a girlfriend (who are also dating each other)

musically, I lean heavily into #punk, #pop, and #breakcore, though I've been getting into women-led #metal as well, and I'm down for just about anything but country (nothing against it, but it was all my parents listened to when I was a kid so I'm permanently tired of it)

feel free to follow me, both here and at @sky@cyberpunk.lol

love y'all #fedi, nice to be here ❤️

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.

My mom expressed a potential interest in the Fediverse, and I'm looking for instance suggestions!

She's a lactation consultant, and going back to school for public health. She's also interested in social justice and neurodiversity. I'm thinking probably a mid to medium large instance, and a general purpose one might be good to start, but any suggestions would be welcome.

So, I've been trying to get this Pixelfed instance hooked up with Backblaze object storage.

I host it with Elest.io because it's managed and I'm not too versed in linux, though I get by.

When I started the instance and messed around in the Admin UI, I noticed these "cloud storage" settings, which I filled out as such. (First pic) but it kept giving me an error about the credentials being incorrect (they're not, i copied them directly from backblaze)

Then, while trying to get help for that, someone told me to edit the ENV with these options:

## S3 Configuration
PF_ENABLE_CLOUD=true
FILESYSTEM_CLOUD=s3
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=
AWS_BUCKET=
AWS_URL=
AWS_ENDPOINT=

But, when I go to my ENV file. Some of those options aren't even there. (second pic).

Can I just insert them at the bottom and put the info in there, and it would work?

Also, for AWS_URL and AWS_ENDPOINT, do I need to include https://?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ugh. Just got a Pixelfed instance setup through Elest.io but when I try to setup cloud storage with Backblaze b2 through the admin UI, it says that the info isn't correct....

Except it is. I've double and triple checked. Deleted keys 3 times, thinking I'd copied the info wrong. But no, everything is right and I can't figure out why it's not working!😩

#Pixelfed #Fedi #Fediverse #FediAdmin

I think I might be putting the info in incorrectly? But as far as I can tell, this should be correct?🤷♂️

At least on X You have freedom of speech.

And this is a fact.

In other places You can be canceled or censored by leftist woke hippie. They are offended by everything so there's easy reality check. This can be simply joke.

+ If You do not agree with this hivemind ... You will be called nazi / facist even if this is not true IRL

In my view EU shouldn't dictate to other countries what they can and don't

I am a descendant of a man who took part in the Battle of Britain

He's brother was murdered in katyń

In my blood there's 100% Poland. Calling me Nazi or facist is not only retarted, it only shows how programmed and brainwashed people works.

🖕

You may don't like Elon Musk, but he stands on right side of history.

that's all.

So, I've been seeing something strange from new users lately...

Does Mastodon now encourage new users to make a post that links to their profile?🤨

If so, why the heck would it do that? If the post is seen, people can just click their profile...

I ask because there's been dozens of people with the same format, linking to their own profile like it's going to help them get more eyes somehow.😳

Why do people make bots that spray the Fediverse with info that should be fetched upon request, such as current weather in [city]?

Anyone have a good Peertube instance for gaming related videos that won't take them down for copyright with in-game music?

Looking for that requirement, plus a decent domain, if both are available.

I just have a single Fortnite video right now, which obviously includes copyrighted music from the dances.

I love how Mastodon has basically taken control of AP and can just add their own features and force other devs to comply or be left behind...😒

Can we NOT allow this nonsense? Threads and Mastodon are teaming up to collectively kill everything good about this platform.

Limiting replies coming soon. Wanna call out that blatant misinformation post? Too bad, the user turned off replies.🙄

If we keep letting shit stick to the walls, don't wonder why it suddenly smells like shit everywhere, just saying.
