Reminder for Mastodon admins that if you are active in moderation, you probably also want to enable "Require authentication from federated servers" under Administration > Server Settings > Discovery
If not enabled, then suspended instances will still see posts from your instance and be able to have their own little horrible conversations in the comments that you don't know about.
You can confirm this by going to a suspended instance and searching for your profile.

#Moderators and #Admin s of #Fediverse, I wanted to know your opinion on something. Please respond to the #poll, #boost this post, and comment your thoughts below.
When you deal with a #report on your server, from someone on your server, do you send a message to the person who made it?

Relays can be used by server admins to increase their server's view of the Fediverse.
To subscribe to a relay on Mastodon:
1. Log into your server’s website using your admin account
2. Go to ⚙️ Preferences > Administration > Relays
3. Click "Setup a Relay Connection"
4. Paste the URL of the relay into the box
5. click "Save and Enable"
NOTE: General relays may overwhelm smaller servers. Hashtag-based relays tend to suit smaller servers better, more info at https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse

I think I might have fixed a long running bug on @phanpy that's been bothering me for months - misaligned columns on mobile, they are too narrow as well on desktop and does not feel like TweetDeck.
Fixed viewpoint width on column when using Multi-Column.
This also improves better readability on desktop too.
Can anyone test for me on mobile devices? Feel free to test on desktop as well if it improves your #Phanpy experience with Multi-Column. Nothing hacky, just pure CSS change. See Before & After images.

When you're choosing a domain name or subdomain for your own site or service, it's best to avoid the name of the software it runs on.
If you switch over to different software in the future but carry on using a name that mentions the old software, this may violate the terms of the trademark.
For example, if you use the word "Mastodon" in a domain or subdomain running non-Mastodon software, that might break the trademark terms of Mastodon gGmbH:

Finally, an updated #introduction: Hello! From #Shanghai to #Montreal, now in #NewYorkCity. Master #student in #ComputerScience at #NYU Tandon, still struggling to figure out what I gonna do next. Gained notoriety for making Barinsta, now I hang out in #Matrix and ActivityPub circles and code stuff once in a while. Am a #FediAdmin. Fervent user of #PublicTransport. Knows too little of too many things. Posts are #SliceOfLife + minor commentaries. Happy to have an IRL #meetup with y'all!

Hey #Fedi I have realized the ipv4 is still incredibly dominant in the internet, and I realize that we all need to do our part for the adoption of ipv6.
So lets start an initiative, #IPV6forFedi if you're an instance admin look into getting ipv6 support for your instance.
If you're a regular fedi user boost this post or raise awareness.

Hallo zusammen!
Wir haben gerade den neuen patch release 4.2.13 ausgerollt. Es ist nur ein kleiner release der ein Sicherheitsproblem behebt.
* https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.13
Die neue Version 4.3 ist bereits so gut wie fertig (4.3-rc.1 kam heute zeitgleich heraus) und wir haben bereits einen canary build davon getestet. Das 4.3er Update dürfte eine etwas größere "Operation" werden, aber da informieren wir euch noch vorab.
Viel Grüße und schönen Abend,
Eure Fediverse Foundation

Block Reccomendations: The TechHub Public Block List, WORST 200 instances. UPDATE
Of the tens of thousands of servers on the fediverse, there are about 200 or so which have administrations which actively support Naziism, Pedophilia, Terrorism, and other serious issues which #Moderation on mainstream Fedi blocks on sight.
TechHub only blocks instances we see as a serious threat to our timeline / users, but we are old and I am thorough, and thus, we've accumulated a considerably large (200+) list of the WORST instances. I publish a curated and annotated version of this list so that #Staff / #FediAdmin s can see it, and potentially import all or part of our blocks.
You can find it at...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6TljzFoEtZ23QE_vaGlJUl6bC7J1I4J/
In light that moderation issues will increase as we near the US Election, I have just pushed another update. I HIGHLY recommend every admin look at this, and consider importing all or part of it.
