Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?
Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?
If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:

If I create and use a second Bookwyrm account, can I later move the first account to the second, or does it need to be fresh?

@downey@floss.social You're taking my suggestion way too far and adding to it things that I did not say or imply. I didn't say or imply that you needed my permission to do anything. If you imagine I even implied that, you are totally mistaken.
Absent a setting a poster could set when they make a post or in their profile that said their posts are set to auto purge, giving others notice that their interactions will result in phantom, orphaned replies and interactions, I said it would be nice if users who interact with posts that get deleted have a UI panel listing their now orphan replies (implying that they could delete those phantom replies that now have no context.)
I can have my social media interaction wish list and consent 101 would seem to include if you are going to have a conversation with someone, the other person has a right to know how that conversation may be used.
My wish list said "I think one option to be fair would be to create a post setting that marks a post with an icon or something warning people that it is subject to auto purging, giving people advance notice who then can decide to interact or not"

I'm muting this conversation since it appears to be escalated to no fault of my own

How come when people answer to a DM or also a CW why answers aren't automatically hidden or private by default.
Very impractical and super bad.
Could this be fixed in coming versions of Mastodon, like in the main code/protocol if there is one?

Grow Your Own Services 🌱
@homegrown@social.growyourown.services
Encouraging non-technical people and organisations to set up their own online services instead of relying on massive corporations. All the recommended services are free and open source, and available through managed hosting providers. You can find out more on my website at https://growyourown.services 🚫 Completely opposed to cryptocurrency, "web3", NFTs, blockchain, tokens, defi, daos etc. They are scams. Maintained by @FediThing

Fedi admins, you may want to defederate mastodon.cloud
There's a scammer registered on mastodon.cloud who is currently spamming people all over the Fediverse (https://digipres.club/@timixretroplays/116400799417215833)
Mastodon.cloud seems to be an unmoderated instance with open registration. It hasn't responded to multiple previous abuse reports (https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115027459008099476)
The admin of mastodon.cloud hasn't posted since February 2023 and its server software is very out of date.

In the past, I've tried using #redis sentinel for this #mastodon instance. But looks like there is a long standing bug on rubby with redis sentinel.
I don't know if it has been resolved now. But I think I found a quick resolve for this problem, using a redis proxy whose support sentinel. And one of my candidate is enriclluelles's redis-sentinel-proxy https://github.com/enriclluelles/redis-sentinel-proxy
Will try it soon. There is 3rd party container image at https://hub.docker.com/r/patrickdk/redis-sentinel-proxy

Reach out to me with tips or corrections. Be aware that my account is closely watched by the people I criticize. Assume that they will see any reply or post to me that isn't a DM. I have disabled the ability to see my followers, but that is not foolproof. If I'm stressing you out, this is my encouragement for you to prioritize self care by muting or blocking me. Be aware of your audience when boosting.
mastodon.social
The creator is making pretty clear that it's designed this way to make it harder to block.
Normally, you'd expect an LLM scraper to have a single (blockable) ActivityPub account doing the scraping.
This is designed so that everybody who uses the service has their identities harvested to steal people's data on the app's behalf.

If you feed somebody's posts into your shitty LLM without an explicit and reversible opt-in, you are violating the consent of fedi users.
This "Zeitgeist" app not only violates consent, but it also doesn't have a centralized ActivityPub identity that can be blocked or defederated.

Hi! I'm Sindastra and this is my personal fedi (Misskey) instance! While I'm here to test out Misskey, this might turn into my new home. Update: Totally my new home for my shitposts and nonsense. If you got a follow request from me, it's likely because I'm already following you from my main account @sindastra@chaos.social! Feel free to follow me back if you're following me there already. (: that's now 3 years old now
PS I'm diagnosed with autism. I appreciate being explained things (I often don't understand things).

I keep suspending a bot account but then it appears again anyway. Is this a known bug in #Misskey?

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on.
This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves.
So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?
