#serveradmin

Hey @FediTips@social.growyourown.services@neondystopia.world, I've been thinking lately about drawing up some documentation for folk to use on the Fediverse. @xaetacore@neondystopia.world and I have noticed lately that there is a rather toxic culture surrounding #fediblock and have wanted to write some guides to help the users on instances curate their own experience on the Fediverse rather than relying solely on the moderation of their instance to do so. We hope to supplement and improve existing moderation efforts rather than replace them entirely. It is our hope that by prompting a shift in the responsibility of curating content from instances to their users. Instance operators and their moderation won't feel compelled to act as an arbiter of philosophy by selecting which content may and may not be seen beyond the scope of generally agreed upon illegal or egregious content. Instead, offering more user agency by providing the tooling, framework and guidance through which they can curtail undesirable content without sorting to suspending entire instances at the expense of the users on there that have done nothing wrong. Would you be interested in promoting or boosting such efforts? #FediAdmin, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #Moderation, #Moderation, #Moderators, #FediMods, #MastoMods, #TrustAndSafety, #SocialMedia, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse, #Fediblock, #Sociology, #Blocklist.

Successfully migrated two reasonably large Wordpress MU sites onto new kit. Close to zero downtime. Brought in SSO. All works perfectly until someone tries to upload an image and hits the PHP max upload limit of 2 meg! Why oh why does it still default to such a low value? And why do I never ever remember to change it on a new install? #php #linux #serveradmin

I finally got borgmatic to work under systemd on my mastodon instance. I've been struggling with it for about a week since I first got it to work from the command line. This takes a big load off my mind. Now if darkmoon craps the bed, I'll have seven days of backups to fall back on. #ServerAdmin #Backup #Borg #Borgmatic #Linux

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?
