Hello Sigmoid Social users!

Wow, Sigmoid Social has been around for over 2.5 years now, how time flies...

Just want mention we are very much still around as administrators and moderators of this Mastodon instance behind the scenes.

We appear to have reached a steady-state of a decent number of users, and we love that some of you still benefit from this instance.

Please do message or email us if you want to suggest improvements or changes!

PSA: We've been seeing an uptick of spam coming from various Mastodon instances over the last several weeks. To address this, we are suspending federation with the instances that appear to be the source of spam; these are generally small instances that don't presently have interactions with users on here. Our instance still has approval-gated registration, so no spam accounts are expected to be created on here.

FYI: we currently have no plans to in any way limit interaction with Threads on this instance. Some major AI voices (eg Karpathy, LeCun) are active on there, so we believe this in the best interest of the community. However, if Sigmoid Social users urge us to act otherwise, we'd be happy to put it to a vote.

Threads is officially starting to test ActivityPub integration

Oops, we haven't posted anything in quite a while... Hi! Though we've been silent, be assured that behind the scenes we at The Gradient are continuing to actively admin and moderate Sigmoid Social. Our stats show steady user activity for a while now, so we are happy many of you decided to stick around and keep posting here 😊

Happy almost holidays 🎄

@chrisoffner3d@sigmoid.social @albrecht@masto.a0s.de we actually do have elastic search enabled. We'll take a look and see if there is an issue with it.

Fun fact for long-time Sigmoiders - we've seen more users joining lately, and the active users has generally stabilized at 2k+ users for a while now.

Thank you all for being part of this lovely place :)

We have seen an uptick in crypto spam in the last couple of days. As this is coming from other Mastodon instances there is not much we can do except suspend the account as they are reported, as we do not want to block federation entirely with these instances. Hopefully this willl get resolved soon!

BTW, we are open to suggestions for alternatives to Discourse. Mastodon itself has a Discourse, so we figured it's a good default option.

We crossed the $300 dollar mark on Patreon and are already 6/7ths of the way to fully covering hosting fees! :ablobcatrave: :ablobcatheartsqueeze: :blobthanks: Worth noting: if we hit $400 we plan to set up a Discourse forum for discussion and suggestions for Sigmoid Social, and also just a second space for Sigmoiders to hang out.
