We’re looking for suggestions for a new translation tool for Fosstodon. What are some foss translation tools you’re using for your Mastodon instance?
I still love the #fosstodon community, but I just ain't 'bout that 500 character life.
Not hatin', that's just a Mastodon thing.
GlitchSocial is worth checking out, as it's the best of both worlds, but, heh, potentially glitchy.
Don't forget to log in to our feedback platform https://vote.fosstodon.org with your #Fosstodon account!
Post your feedback and suggestions, we want to hear from our users!
We're aware of an issue with emails not being sent from https://vote.fosstodon.org.
The smtp service that the Fider instance uses has set a 100 message per-day limit on the smtp agent until it's reviewed for full use by their team, and we're waiting for that review to complete.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience.
AAAH yall it's happened!!!
#Fosstodon now has an upvote platform where our community can post ideas for the server and vote on them
We'd love to hear your thoughts on https://vote.fosstodon.org/
Special thanks to @btp for doing the technical wizardry.

Hello #Fediverse
At #Fosstodon we recently updated our CoC: https://hub.fosstodon.org/coc/
One of the new parts is to make AI generated content easier to identify for our users: Since it is rapidly getting very difficult to know what is real or not. Knowing that could be very important for anyone looking for answers to something.
- I'm curious to know how you and other instances manage this growing challenge of real and imaginary blurring all the more?

Terrible Shell Scripting: Contexts

Hello #Fosstodon
It's been awhile, what projects are we currently working on?
Hello from your #Fosstodon Admin team @btp @Gina
Yay! Happy to meet in person @haubles
(hey #Fosstodon community, the Mastodon board says hi! )
Grab some cute fosstodon stickers and show your support for the instance. Added to the fediverse merch list today.
@fosstodon Cool to see an uodated #fosstodon coc and team covenant!
I am a bit confused about point 2 from the covenant, though. "Impact before intentions" suggest to moderate posts that have negative impact, even if the poster has (or declares to have) positive intentions, but that seems to conflict with "believing people". Also "when their own actions show us who they are" seems to again encourage judgement based on actions rather than intent.
Maybe the wording of it could be improved?
We've updated our Code of Conduct and have created a #Fosstodon Team Covenant page on the Hub!

Does #Fosstodon or the #Fediverse have any recommendations for pet cams? I'm going on vacation soon and would love to check in on the cats from time to time.
It's infuriating seeing the sheer AMOUNT of people in this TikTok's (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdUHmuJ3/) comments who've clearly never tried Linux.
The eternal arguments:
"I can't play Valorant or LoL!" - Yeah, because their kernel-level anticheat is invasive and many of us don't want that on our OS anyway. It's a feature, not a bug.
"You can't play games in general!" - FALSE. Thousands of games work perfectly on Linux via Steam/Proton. Check ProtonDB. My library works fine.
"It takes 200 commands to install Chrome!" - No, it doesn't. You open the software center and click "install," just like on any other OS. Stop spreading myths from 1998.
It's 2025. Try it before you talk nonsense.
