Notices by FLOSS.social :mastodon_oops: (admin@floss.social)

@OddDev Thanks for reporting; this has been fixed.

There is a small number of hashtags that trended early in the history of the "trending hashtags", and not since then, that had a misconfiguration applied to them some years ago.

Because Mastodon has still not improved the trending hashtags admin feature since then, there are no admin tools to manage hashtags that aren't trending, so the only way we can (quickly) resolve this scenario is once they are discovered and reported.

✋🏾 We'll never be ad-supported.

#Fediverse

Our #FediPact :FediPact: actions timeline:

June 2023: Preemptively blocked federation with #Meta #Facebook and #Threads. We also didn't attend any secret meetings with them or sign their NDAs.

July 2023: Blocked their IP networks from accessing our instance.

💡 Because protecting human rights shouldn't ever be something up for a vote.

Dear FLOSS.social community,

While we are doing our best to quickly respond to #spam complaints in the past few days, we encourage you to consider (at least temporarily) turning on one or more of the "Other Notifications Settings" listed at the bottom of https://floss.social/settings/preferences/notifications (you may need to adjust the URL for your own server's domain name).

At minimum, consider the first checkbox "Block notifications from non-followers".

@cariad

If #Hachyderm refugees are looking for a community of people who enjoy and support OSS, they're welcome to apply at floss.social.

We are a proud #FediPact signer and will not be federating with #Meta until they resolve their complicity in human rights abuse & their massive vectors for harassment. 😴

Our community has decided that we prioritize the safety of marginalized people over the audience of privileged ones, & we back up those values with action.

? FYI: In order to promote #federation across #Mastodon and all of the #community benefits it brings, FLOSS.social will close to new users at 1,000.

As we approach that number, we'll switch from the current approval-based public signup mode to invite-only mode, so new people will need to request an invite from a current user.

Our existing Inactive Account Policy means we'll occasionally welcome new users in the future.

We encourage other small instances to take similar approaches! #MastoAdmin
