It looks like #europesays #spamming uses now also the flipboard.social #instance on #Mastodon . Just block the entire instance if you don't want to see the constant #spam .

Cher Mastodon, tu saurais me recommander une instance ?

C’est pour une association qui lutte pour une nourriture de qualité accessible à tous !

Merci !

We've just reached 100 followers on our new #instance — thank you for following us! We're as happy as this dolphin! 😄

Starting a new instance and receiving quality content from other instances of the Fediverse is hard — there's a lot of spam and bots boosting low-quality content. We tried following automated relay accounts to bring content to our Pixelfed instance, but they don't filter their boosts and bring lots of poor-quality images (AI, spam, low definition etc). So, if we want to offer a nice instance to our family and friends, we're kind of obliged to curate accounts one by one to sort of "control" what enters our server (in the beginning only - after some days, we can't really control anymore). That's why we created this "relay" account. #introduction #newhere

We don't automate anything; we select every account we follow carefully, so our instance users can see nice photos in the global feed and consequently find more interesting people to follow.

We follow many people — more than 1,000, chosen individually based on photo quality and/or creativity, as well as accounts that post niche content that may interest our users, such as nature, art, cycling, and aviation. Over the last 2 weeks, we have spent hours and hours searching for nice accounts to follow. 😅

If you're looking for more people to follow, check out the list of people we follow — you may find some nice accounts to follow, too!

If you're a Pixelfed instance admin who struggles to receive remote accounts content in your instance (unlike other platforms, Pixelfed does not have public relays), follow us! We share lots of great photos, which will help your instance to automatically receive nice images. Let us know if you do the same so we can follow you back!

Most of the time, we share other people's photos, but we also post some high-quality, royalty-free photos from Unsplash on this relay account. This is also a way to bring beautiful images to the Fediverse and promote photographers instead of generative AI rubbish.

We welcome suggestions for other great accounts to follow! 😃
Have a nice day!

Can anyone recommend a Mastodon instance that prohibits or limits the use of AI?

I've been browsing the server directory and most don't even mention AI.

Does the fediverse have no will to fight AI slop or what?

Unfortunately, the server work took longer than planned. As a result, our #instance and various other services on our domain were unavailable for some time. We apologize for this and are now online again.

Our #instance will be offline for some time starting at 3:00 p.m. due to urgent #hardware work.

Yay! After rescaling my #mastodon #instance to have more #storage, I can now upload files again!
Ah ... And the reason I wanted to upload something: I've created a small #pride flag that I can have at my desk : )

In the picture is a folded piece of paper, coloured by pen to be a pride flag, next to it is a little wooden stick, which will become the flagpole. Beneath the paper, there lay the pens I've used for colouring. And they lay on my cutting mat on my desk.

Seit einigen Tagen werden Medien meiner Mastodon-Instanz metalhead.club global verteilt über ein eigenes CDN ausgeliefert. :goose_hacker:

Das verringert die Latenzen für Benutzer aus nicht-EU Ländern und sorgt für weniger Frust bei den Ladezeiten.

Was ein CDN ist, welche Implementierungsmethoden es gibt und wie ich mein kleines CDN umgesetzt habe, erfahrt ihr in meinem neuen Blogpost:

Updated the #PeerTube platform on videos.abnormalbeings.space to version 7.2.1, everything seems to work as expected - update script was comfortable to use as usual - many thanks again for making this probably the easiest Fedi platform to maintain that I am running, even with the larger scale than my lemmy and masto instances :D

Due to a malfunction at our #provider, our #instance was partially unavailable this morning. Sorry for that, I hope it's working again now.

After attending #PubConf2025 yesterday, I chatted with a friend that expressed wanting to get of Instagram.
They have been intrigued by me saying, that #Mastodon always has been a pretty #queer space.
Now I’m looking for the right #instance to recommend. But the choices are overwhelming.

Where would a queer, #feminist, intellectual, English language #writer, #educator in arts, secular Jewish, pro Palestinian, gen-X person feel at home?

Due to a necessary update of our #instance to #Mastodon version v4.4.0-beta.1+glitch we were offline for about 30 minutes. All services are working again as expected.

lesson #1:

if you "don't have time for this" ("this" being obviously paid trolls) you probably shouldn't be running the biggest fucking .

idée marrante : une instance où on posterait limités à 140 caractères. et que s'apelerio 140car.oldschool
(je sais hélas, las, las, .oldschool n'existe pas)

I'm glad I finally got rid of the constant #spamming of #europesays and its countless sub-sites, by blocking its #pubeurope #instance on #Mastodon .The website europesays.com is registered with a simple P.O. Box address in Denver, Colorado, #USA ,and provides no online information about who's behind it. Clearly, this is a #AI-powered #bot polluting the #fediverse .

2025-06-01 в промежутке 07:00 - 09:00 UTC (то есть с 10 до 13 по Москве в это воскресенье) хостинг будет обновляться до OpenBSD 7.7
Сервер и соответствующие сервисы (honk, почта и gemini) будут недоступны на время обновления. Затем всё должно подняться само автоматически.

New #instance, new #introduction

Not new to the Fediverse, but always kinda planned on joining mastodon.radio once I got my license, which is now!

Interested in #POTA, #SOTA, and #SSTV. Eventually want to give #DX an earnest go. With respect to radio: don't know what I don't know; interested to find additional interests.

Elsewhere known as @ety@hive.institute or @ety@corteximplant.com.

I'll focus on radio content here; may boost elsewhere. Overall posts and boosts will be infrequent. Lurk moar.
