#FediAdmins

Mal eine Frage an die Mastodon Instanzbetreiber. Was habt Ihr so als Serverausstattung und wie viele Nutzer habt Ihr so im Schnitt auf euren Instanzen?

@djwfyi MerryChristmas to all #FediAdmins
i'm I'm admin of princess.wedding, but princess.wedding is not running Mastodon, but you are reading my post thought because we federate with Mastodon instances.

Anyone put their site behind Cloudflare? It seems like a simple process with just A records. Is the performance and security worth it? I'm looking at the free plan for their CDN/Reverse Proxy/DDoS services.

Is there any important data that needs to be persistent in the redis database for Mastodon?
In other words - do we need to migrate the database between redis versions or can we nuke it and start all over again?

Wieso taucht dieses 3 Jahre alte PeerTube Video bei mir in der Timeline auf? Sowas hatte ich neulich schon mal und @ivory meinte es wäre bestimmt weil ich einem hashtag folgen würde, welches wohl auf der original Plattform wäre, Mastodon aber nicht anzeigen würde?! Jetzt habe ich mir den Beitrag im Web angeschaut und dort sind keine Hashtags verwendet worden. Wie man sieht wurde es auch nicht von jemanden dem ich folge geboosted!Also warum?!

Screenshot eines 3 Jahre alten PeerTube ?Videos welches unvermittelt in meiner TL auftaucht

Ein Foto einer Person, die an einem Podest steht und spricht. Die Person trägt einen dunklen Anzug, ein hellgrünes Hemd und eine Lavaliermikrofon. Sie halten die Hände vor sich. Im Hintergrund befindet sich ein dunkler Hintergrund. Das Podest ist mit dem Text „Liberty Fellowship“ versehen. Der Titel des Fotos lautet: „A Flu Virus Is Not Our Problem, Spiritual Blindness Is Our Problem - 4/11/21 Sunday by Liberty Fellowship.“

But of course, this comes from my knowledge of doing moderation on an instant messaging platform. Are there more advance tools that exists that would allow preventative measures in content moderation? #fediadmins #fedimods #askfedi

Hello #swarmintelligence of the #Fediverse, how do you solve the problem when you want to install new software on an already known domain?
So in my case from #Lemmy to xxx (I'm not sure yet what it will be, maybe #Friendica). Because if the instance keys no longer match, communication will be rejected.
Mastodon introduced the self-destruct command for this, but Lemmy doesn't have anything like that.

🦉 PSA - with earthstream.social disappearing I almost lost Owls in Towels, but they are reconstituted at @owlsintowels

Recommend #FediAdmins / #MastoAdmins purge the earthstream.social domain, no self-destruct was sent as far as I can tell.

@meljoann oooo, I really like that you can create lists and host them wherever you want too. I've been using GoToSocial for months and I had no idea this feature was a thing :3

I know it's been very slow and not inclusive enough, but seeing fedi slowly adopt new moderation features has been nice. I'm thankful for the marginalized people who have demanded these features for years. Without them, none of this stuff would exist. Good on GoToSocial for prioritizing this in beta too :blue_heart_sparkles:

It will also be interesting to see if it can work with FASP, so that mastodon admins can also setup a service to relay them.

Screenshot of the New Domain Permission Subscription page in GoToSocial. It says:

Domain permission subscriptions allow your instance to "subscribe" to a list of block or allows at a given url.
Every 24 hours, each subscribed list is fetched by your instance, and any discovered permissions in each list are loaded into your instance as blocks/allows/drafts.
Learn more about domain permission subscriptions (opens in a new tab). The link goes to the https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/settings/#subscriptions

The fields you can fill out are:
- subscription title
- subscription priority (0-255)
- permission type (block or allow)
- permission list URL (http or https)
- content type (CSV, JSON, Plain text)
- Use basic auth when fetching (checkbox)
- adopt orphan permissions (checkbox)
- Create permission as drafts (checkbox - default checked)

@AlsoPaisleyCat Maybe it would be helpful if instances manually approve new accounts (or use another form of verification — on our site, for example, you have to provide an account number before it gets activated). Yes, that might mean you’ll soon no longer be “one of the largest instances in Germany,” but instead a valuable part of our communication movement. #fediadmins

It was always bound to happen, but it appears that Bluesky’s CEO is currently pulling an elon and targeting users who call her out or who label others as transphobes.

Attached is an example of the latter.

#fediadmins , there are a lot of scared queers on that site that may be looking for a home on a fediverse instance… please try and be welcoming of any migrators over the next few weeks

Boosts appreciated to get the word out. Let’s build some more community 💜

Screenshot of Bluesky. A moderation list that allowed users to label (and thus avoid) transphobic accounts has been administratively hidden for supposedly violating terms of service

@Lorker

sonst Versuch doch zumindest deine Posts mit Hashtags wie #fediadmin #fediadmins leichter auffindbar zu machen.

vielleicht kann die Community dir helfen, deine Fragen zur zu den Bots und potenziellen Föderationsschwierigkeiten zu beantworten

Frage an alle, die eine #Peertube #Instanz betreiben oder auch nur einen #Account auf Peertube nutzen:

Könnt ihr ein hochgeladenes und transcodiertes
#Video aktualisieren, sprich Infos ändern/ergänzen?

Ich habe seit längerem eine Peertube-Instanz als
#Docker laufen (derzeit Peertube 7.3.0), und das ändern von solchen Videodaten (z.B. Tippfehler in Titel/Beschreibung) ging noch nie (getestet als Uploader/Besitzer des Videos sowie als Admin). Alles andere funktioniert 1a. 🤷

Anyone out there who would want to chat about moderation and moderation tools? I am especially interested in how larger instances currently handle reports. Are there external tools used? How is the work organized? What safeguards are in place for the folks doing the work? I know that I don't know every dogwhistle out there, how do folks handle reports where they don't quite understand?

Very happy to read any materials sent over.

@blog Wer selbst einen Mastodon-Server betreibt und mal nachsehen will, wie die Verteilung der lokalen Konten ist:

select discoverable, count(*) from accounts WHERE domain is null group by discoverable;

Oder für alle bekannten Konten:

select discoverable, count(*) from accounts group by discoverable;

Aber was bedeutet es, wenn dort null steht? Ist das Konto dann sichtbar oder nicht?

Hey #FediAdmins, is there a way to provide users with a reason when rejecting their signup request? (Mastodon specific in my case)
