Why are you so cute?! 😭

#CatsOfMastodon

@analog_cafe I feel justified in stocking up on Portra just in case.

@deep It’s in the works.

New #FranzFerdinand single with a cool music video. Those split diopter shots are fun.

@geo @Francehelder ...It is that now.

@willhopkins Makes it more interesting!

@TechConnectify I had to explain the "of in the cold food" thing to my wife.

@jeff @davidcelis @left_adjoint Mastodon has 5 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees right now. Salaries vary by position, mine is 60k EUR. Most of the development is done by employees.

@JoBlakely If you want to continue using the other way I would recommend to not click the names but rather use the checkbox on the side to select people and then use the action at the top such as "Unfollow" or "Remove from followers".

@JoBlakely Oh, do you happen to be on the "Follows and followers" page within settings? Does the address bar say mastodon.social/relationships? If you are, I would recommend navigating to the "1.6K followers" tab on your profile instead. While it won't have the bulk unfollow option, it will be overall less confusing.

@JoBlakely Do you have any user styles or browser add-ons installed that might affect how Mastodon works? Does the bottom left of your page (on your followers listt) say "v4.4.0-nightly.2024-11-15", and slightly above it, "mastodon.social"?

@JoBlakely How do you navigate to this page from the followers list? Normally your browser's address bar should begin with "mastodon.social" when viewing their profile. The options are not available because you are on a different website. Try clicking on this link instead: @hp and let me know if you can see the options as expected.

@JoBlakely Could you take a screenshot of the page this appears on and send to me at eugen@joinmastodon.org? If no screenshot is possible, I at least need to know one name of an account that appears as a follower despite not being a follower.

@nclm This is very close to what @samhenrigold and I discussed. We’re working on this!

Quite pleased with my current lock screen.

@ricmac 😶

@jperlow @johnglass I'm not sure how my post relates to this conversation.

@pixeline.be No.

I spent 25% of my life working on Mastodon. It's kind of wild when you think about it. When I started, Google+ was still around. We're doing what one of the most resourceful companies in the world couldn't do. It's not easy. It's always easier to just build A Website, then slap some ads on it. But the fediverse is the long game.

We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.
