I like this approach, and hope more organisations adopt it. https://www.xlast.org/

@renchap @evan @supergrobi @J12t I also mentioned (on Threads) that I’d love to talk with them - in response to a post they made about their potential API - saw lots of engagement on the post, but no follow-up despite providing my direct contact details.

I have two Open Source software projects (well, one software project, and one open standards org) looking to move from <another place> to Mastodon - I note that fosstodon is invite-only right now. Where would be nice homes for these?

(would be release announcement-centric sorta things, not asking anyone to follow them unless they want to)

Does anyone in my network have technical or product contacts at SquareSpace they could connect me with? (boost for viz please!)

Excited to announce that the @Mastodon project will have a stand at #FOSDEM2024 ... February this year was my first time at #FOSDEM, and this time I'll be there with a project I support! Looking forward to it. https://fosdem.org/2024/news/2023-11-20-accepted-stands-fosdem-2024/

My inbox tells me that it is Black Friday? Pretty much every email insists that it is, so it must be!

@Gargron out of interest, how do you get your photos developed (seemingly) so fast - do you have a portable darkroom, film scanner?

This is great - @stefan uses science 🧪 to analyze the usage of alt text for images on Mastodon. 👏🏻 https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/alttexthealthcheck-image-accessibility-report-1/

I am at Newspeak House in London for Cybersalon, celebrating the 30th birthday of the Mosaic web browser (more or less)

@dansup I don't quite understand the status report here, at least, I don't know what each of these is.

Mastodon 4.2 on Product Hunt, go upvote us! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mastodon-4-2

@Sinead_Quealy @padraig @mastodonie there is another great post about new stuff in 4.2 if you are curious or like screenshots! https://shlee.fedipress.au/2023/mastodon-4-2-0-post-toots-everybody/

A new #MastodonAPI client in PHP 🎉 I love things like this, and want to ensure that community-contributed libraries are publicised for everyone to benefit. Thank you @lhengstmengel 🙏🏻 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/26451

The #Mastodon 4.2.0-beta1 is available for testing, and there’s a lot of good stuff inside - it is also a great time to get involved and contribute to our translations project! More info and a link to CrowdIn here -> https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#translations

@Gargron I was confused and thought the food grade one was dishwasher safe… but it also says hand wash... thanks!

Look at the two symbols in the middle of this piece of flexible plastic. What do they denote?

Nice to see some of the Reddit app developers switch over to the #Fediverse https://www.androidpolice.com/sync-back-not-a-reddit-app-anymore/

I, for one, welcome my friends @BBCRD to the #fediverse - running their own Mastodon instance! 🎉 https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub

@ben good question, I’ll have to boost to see if the community can answer that - Ivory on iOS has an option but I’m not very up-to-date on Android options

In a thoroughly timely move, I’m re-upping this post thinking about the future of #DevRel in a heterogenous world of social platforms. Apropos of, I dunno, something… let’s call it “X”. https://macaw.social/@andypiper/109930971760423920
