I really like this Harris/Walz typeface

Does anybody *know of* any "successful" existing allowlist-only instances?

What if rather than devoting time and energy playing whack-a-mole with every new instance that is spun up, a trusted group of people maintained and monitored a central list of allowed instances who have committed to a core set of values and show a good-faith effort to uphold those as much as their resources allow? The anti-Oliphant.
I have never been a large community moderator, so I imagine there are all kinds of flaws with this idea.

And that might have to start with mastodon dot social itself.

I'm beginning to wonder if the only solution to hate speech and harassment on the Fediverse might be allowlist-only instances.

Manually managing the domains you block is absolutely no substitute for actually good moderation tools, where #Mastodon has a lot of work to do.
But in the meantime, if your instance doesn't have a good blocklist, you can upload this CSV to your "Domain blocking list" at example.social/settings/imports to block some of the worst instances:

I like that the @npub1z64…s6x2 #Mastodon app has algorithmic feeds. But the UI is visually overwhelming and constantly thrashing due to content updates and image and link preview loading.

If Harris wants to appeal to young people, she should make sure to be seen drinking Pepsi, not Coke.

I finally changed my phone’s 4-digit passcode to an 8-character paraphrase after hearing about the #Cellebrite crack.

I’m asking about all candidates on the ticket, whether president or vice president, including losers.

2024-07-15 23:44:51

When was the last time a major US party had a candidate for president or vice president who had *full* beard?

Non-rhetorical question: How did email newsletter services like #Substack make reading blogs so popular again?
What would it take for #RSS to see the same success?

I don’t think Apple would hesitate to call Musk’s bluff on this. As popular as it still may be, Twitter (and Musk) are brand poison.
Apple has very visibly stopped promoting Twitter in the App Store; their “Essential Social Apps” story contains two Mastodon apps and zero Twitter apps.
Twitter needs Apple way, way more than Apple needs Twitter.

One of the absolute worst degradations in modern/mobile UIs is the way tap targets are constantly moving as content is dynamically loaded.
Many times I have tapped the wrong thing because something has moved.
I have even sometimes hovered my thumb millimeters away from the screen, waiting to be sure nothing will change, and the *moment* before I make contact, the content of the screen changes and I tap the wrong thing.

Remember everyone, pressing an iPhone’s sleep/wake button five times in rapid succession will passcode-lock your phone in an emergency.

Are you supposed to be able to follow folks on there from here? I can’t seem to.

If you search Mastodon for “threads.net” you’ll see a bunch of people wondering why they can’t see President Biden’s account, unaware that they are on an instance that did a full suspend on the threads.net domain.
