So uh, Mastodon has been around for 2 years now. Wow

Alright.

Let me present to you, the new documentation website:

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

I ported the API docs over (and improved them), the administration section is more cohesive, the design is responsive now

My work on Mastodon, hosting of mastodon.social, its moderators, joinmastodon.org, and our GitLab server are paid thanks to these sponsors via Patreon:

That's a lot of new people on the fediverse huh! Hola 😋

My tasks list right now... I have to finish the documentation website (REST API still missing), I have to finish the Conversations API (it's mostly about the UI part now), I have to finish report source blocking, I have to finish fixing link verification for remote accounts...

And that's just the currently in progress stuff, I have 5-6 items on the 2.6 roadmap I haven't started on yet.

Updated display name for Halloween.

Good morning! 😴

Some people dug up a tweet from 2012 in which I say that I am falling in love with the Catalan language

Reminds me to listen to this song, which inspired that tweet, again. Enigma - La Puerta Del Cielo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUt7uIHYsaI #np

Since there's a lot of new people, here's a primer:

I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
