We will need to retire the option to use namespaces in Redis (i.e. setting the REDIS_NAMESPACE environment variable) in Mastodon 4.4.

If you run a Mastodon server and currently use Redis namespaces, please have a look at this discussion and leave some feedback:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d

Thanks!

But.

I don't know thing 1 about how to #admin and #moderate an instance properly.

So all of this is to ask all-a- y'all if you know of any admin or moderator training materials that emphasize racial justice and anti-racism?

It doesn't have to be Mastodon specific. Likely the concepts will transfer even if they were written for message boards or whatever.

People in my demographic tend to ask Black people to do a lot of free labor when trying to make a fair space. That's awful and I don't want to do that. Just because I'm ignorant, that doesn't entitle me to the efforts of my neighbors to educate my ignorant ass. It's on me to find things out and there's tons of recorded works in various media to help me with that.

TikTok got me started on this and Mastodon, even in its wild imperfection, has helped.

My town is over 85% Black, and I'm not. I want to serve my community fully and eventually hand the mature project over to a council of the people so it's run by the consensus of the membership.

I don't really know how to get there.

It's so important that this space be welcoming and comfortable for Black folks as well as other non-white folks in the community. So moderation has to be right.

I have concerns and misgivings. As a middle aged white AFAB person, I'm in the demographic who cluelessly screws over Black communities. People like me tend to have the best intentions but bad outcomes, because blind spots and tone deafness due to being raised in a racist society.

I do not want to perpetuate the pattern.

If you care about what you're building, don't host your stuff with Hetzner. Don't trust them.

They will take you down without warning and won't answer your queries. For sure, they'll send you an invoice, tho.

Happened before with @Ursalzona and other fediverse servers, happened now with this Peertube instance, and it's best to avoid being their next victim.

Go host your stuff somewhere else. And keep your backup routines working.

:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.4.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2025-03-14 @mementomorisocial. This upgrade contains latest and newest version, including the security updates.

The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 66 changes ahead the last version which was v4.4.0-alpha.3+mementomods-2025-03-04.

We have enabled the new feature FETCH_REPLIES_ENABLED=true. This should greatly improve the fetching of new replies.

As usual, please tell me or our other admins about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.

I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

I'm looking to make a few minor changes to Mastodon using custom CSS, but I'm not sure how to target e.g. bgcolor for the light mode without impacting the dark mode. Anyone got any pointers? I can't find anything useful online.

Hi #Admins 👋,

Can you give me quotes that explain your fight against #AIScraping? I'm looking for (verbal) images, metaphors, comparisons, etc. that explain to non-techies what's going on. (efforts, goals, resources...)

I intend to publish your quotes in a text on @campact 's blog¹ (DE, German NGO).

The quotes should make your work🙏 visible in a generally understandable way

Several people have asked me whether this makes FediFetcher obsolete. I thought I'd put out a more public response to this question:

Unfortunately I don't think I can retire FediFetcher just yet, as it still has some utility:

Firstly, FediFetcher can fetch context proactively without having to expand posts. (Eg one of my favourite features of FediFetcher is that it pro-actively pulls in replies to posts in my home timeline. I personally wouldn't really want to miss out on this.)

Secondly, FediFetcher can also backfill profiles - something that Mastodon is still unable to do, and, as far as I can tell, has no intention of implementing.

Thirdly, it'll likely still be a while until these changes are available in any released versions, and likely even longer until 3rd party apps have support for it.

I do hope it’s the beginning of the end of FediFetcher, but imo we are not there just yet!

Obviously other users of FediFetcher may have different opinions, and if - once this is released - you personally are happy with Mastodon's built in ‘on demand' context fetch, you should stop using FediFetcher to relieve pressure from your home instance.
