Mastodon mentioned in the New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/can-indie-social-media-save-us

"Mastodon, another popular IndieWeb service"

Are we really IndieWeb? I always thought IndieWeb were the people who self-host blogs with like, microformats and pingbacks

Spend one day in Twitter notifications and you really come to appreciate the pleasant bubble of the fediverse

The new server picker is live on https://joinmastodon.org/, I hope you like it!

Are we ready to hate #GoT tonight folks?

I will be taking submissions over e-mail at first (I do not expect a lot to come quickly).

If you are a server owner, and you have:

1) A server policy against racism, sexism and transphobia

2) Daily database backups

3) At least one other person with emergency access to server infrastructure

4) Commit to giving users at least 3 months advance warning before closing down your server

E-mail hello@joinmastodon.org with the subject "Server submission". I'll try to figure out the blurb/category

Time to announce this plan: I am working on a redesign of the joinmastodon.org server picker. I am also planning to switch out the data source from instances.social to my own API. The main reason for this is the addition of a new guarantee that I would be able to give when linking to servers from joinmastodon.org: That those servers would meet certain standards and enforce some basic rules of conduct.

Below is a screenshot with old, uncurated data as placeholder.

I disagree with Purism's hands-off moderation approach and I have urged them to re-consider their stance.
