@danlyke let's not forget to go back further and demand that the rich explain why people who work "for" them are poor.

@danlyke We have to do what we can and it isn't that I believe that I'm about to change things. I am simply trying to resist their attempts to move the Overton Window further to the hate side.

@danlyke well that is basically a significant part of the job description for a Methodist Minister ?

Hi @mastohost
One of our users got a "too many requests" error this morning. Is that a "Mastodon" throttle"? Is it something that I can configure or a server overload or ...?

@mastohost that's great. Is it the sort of thing that typically gets released quickly?

Hi @mastohost is there a way to download and upload my servers block list.
I'd like to be able to do some bulk editing, sorting, processing. The one at a time approach of the web interface is becoming unmanageable. We have approx 200 entries and I have multiple lists of around 500 servers that I want to check and add.

@pmphillips my understanding is that the Mastodon server v4 supports translation but the server needs to have a translation service.
I don't know much about that apart from a couple of "it's expensive comments".
So I guess maybe, if I've got that right, at some point @mastohost might offer it as an add-on to our server.
I suspect that, even if my understanding is right, that it will be a low priority while growth and loads are so high.

Hi @mastohost one of my users is getting this error https://amastodon.uk/@pmphillips/109364608329948201 on https://aMastodon.uk/home
Is it something I've done wrong or a bug or ...?

@mastohost and now we have been upgraded. I feel faster, lighter and more able already. Oh, it was only the #Mastodon server, nevermind, it still feels good :-)

Ok https://aMastodon.uk people. You might have noticed that we are still on version 3.5.3
@mastohost ran into some issues, mainly that they released version 4.0.2 part way through the upgrades.
So we should be moving straight to the latest 4.0,2 today.
One of the most exciting new features is to be able to follow a Hashtag just as we can follow a person. Looking forward to trying that.
