We've been having outages on Flipboard recently as a result of spammers.
⛔️ We’ve blocked malicious traffic from several cloud providers, so things should run more smoothly.

Just when I was thinking of going to bed, #Flipboard goes down AGAIN, depriving me (and many others, I suppose) of one my sources of bedtime reading material. :(
Does anyone have the ability to “Add topic” or “Tags” to their flips on @Flipboard? I don't, but if I could, it would be a real game-changer. #contentcuration #topics #flipboard #flipboardmagazines

Alt-text on images is only a thing on Mastodon and amongst Pixelfed users who are also on Mastodon.
Fediblocking entire servers for a too low quota of sufficiently accurate, sufficiently detailed, rule-conforming alt-text would end up defederating Mastodon from most of the rest of the Fediverse. It would end up in the Fediblocking of entire Fediverse server application types. Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp-JS, Iceshrimp.NET, CherryPick, Sharkey, Catodon, Smithereen, snac, GoToSocial, Mitra, Socialhome, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte, Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, nodeBB, WordPress, Ghost, Flipboard, Plume and a whole lot of others would end up being defederated from Mastodon in their entirety because they don't have alt-text (and everyone upping their game in alt-text style, accuracy and level of detail) as an integral part of their culture.
Basically, from Mastodon's point of view, the Fediverse would end up actually being only Mastodon because Mastodon would have defederated with everything else, server by server.
I think I'm the only one on Hubzilla who actually describes their images. I'm definitely the only one amongst the few dozen (streams) users who does. But even if I put more time and effort into describing images than just about anyone else in the Fediverse, I think that wouldn't be enough to save either server application from being defederated from Mastodon in their entirety as long as not everyone else adds sufficiently accurate, sufficiently detailed, rule-conforming alt-texts to every last one of their images, as cumbersome as that may be on Hubzilla.

I would also be in favor of Fediblock for instances where this behavior is rampant.

I made a #mastodon #list just for #news sites I follow (which are still mostly #Flipboard, but good on 'em for being in #fedi at all), and it's so hard not to rewrite many of the headlines I see them using, like *anybody anywhere* doesn't see the bullshit fascist rhetoric each one is soaked in.
But then I realized there's no end to it, I could be rewriting these all day!
Ugh.. How to de-consolidate #journalism again? How do we evict all the #billionaire colonizers, and go back to #Democracy?
Just followed 17 more #Flipboard accounts here on #Mastodon! Excited that I'll get to see #news publications in my feed on here. 😁 :fediverse: :blobhappy:
Headsup to anyone who follows @Flipboard accounts:
Some of them post extremely frequently because they're run by news agencies etc, and you're getting a firehose of articles.
You can narrow this down to articles about specific topics by following the account's "magazines", sub-accounts that only show posts on certain topics.
For example @AssociatedPress posts all Associated Press articles, but @entertainment-AssociatedPress is just AP's entertainment posts.

#PixelmatorPro has been my number one choice to edit my RAW files for years, and by individually editing each photo, I learned tons about how I can bring out details and natural colors from my RAW files that resemble the organic look of the original scenes that I was drawn to when I captured photos of them.
https://www.pixelmator.com/pro/
Although each camera and each photo editing app has limitations, they allow us artists to find creative ways to bring forward our unique artistic vision and share it with the world. The creative challenge is, as always, to come up with artworks that reflect who we are on a soul level so the creative process itself brings as much immense joy to us as to the viewers.

I have been reading about.flipboard.com and I don't understand what #Flipboard is actually supposed to be.
They don't seem to actually onboard new publishers? RSS feeds only work in mobile and not on their website? I swear magazines used to have an RSS option in settings that now is nowhere to be seen?
I just found out they have a new web browser, except maybe it's an app and not a browser at all?
@mike please help explain how I am supposed to use your website 😭
As of today, upgrade to #Ghost 6 has been done on all sites (following the 6.1 release), and now @blackvoid.club is part of the #fediverse via #ActivityPub as well!
Follow along via @index@blackvoid.club (or just continue to follow this account as well) for more close engagement via #Ghost #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Mastadon or any other social feed!

Wondering if anyone at #Flipboard is working late, on a Friday night, to fix their website and RSS feeds... probably not. Frak. :(
Oh, cool, #Flipboard is having issues again, website down. There goes one of my sources of reading material during lunch.
(to be fair, they haven't had tech issues in a while, but I still wonder what's going on in their servers)
