I'm excited for the next major release of Mastodon (4.2) that's coming soon. Half a year of UX improvements (that of course mastodon.social users are already benefiting from). More details to follow.

Back here again 🇨🇭

Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome nostr:npub1e7hd8kkgq7uclkf02xaewc9mmcq064dgpxr2wghwp24mq7wtw8csvazpzn!

nostr:npub1yf8qlhng5v78xgt0sdazdhnhtkk9ra4shmrjzj2mq6qymknfvpds345j7z I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts in 2017 or so. Somebody else grabbed my handle on Twitter since, and... I don't care. People know where to find me. I felt no impulse to grab a handle on Bluesky for the same reason. So I guess I don't know, no.

nostr:npub1yf8qlhng5v78xgt0sdazdhnhtkk9ra4shmrjzj2mq6qymknfvpds345j7z But you're not going to reserve your username on every Mastodon server, or on every e-mail provider, right? Why should Threads be special?

nostr:npub1yf8qlhng5v78xgt0sdazdhnhtkk9ra4shmrjzj2mq6qymknfvpds345j7z There's also no point joining it if you already have a Mastodon account. Eventually you will be able to follow anyone on Threads from this account.

nostr:npub1grx4wzqldf8clxusxpz78adjcukkqvdkhf8amsdhr6sy3ctuu2fqvsuxfe Deprecated does not mean removed. We don't (typically) break compatibility. But apps should switch to the better method.

Keep in mind we're going to do some database maintenance in about 30 minutes, which may involve some downtime. You can always check status.mastodon.social to get the latest information.

nostr:npub1dd68geaws4rwaxe265tsxw03vxhpvr6syfh9l0c84eqwr58ye35sl6ckar It's not redundant because otherwise it would be impossible to tell the difference between a handle and an e-mail address. There's already a convention of writing social media handles with a @ in front.

nostr:npub1q4797j6j8g5u9dp060f93fvadk90kjnl55txzyuu9rtqqllq7zvs80h4cg Sounds like I'm explaining the sorting algorithm we used to have on joinmastodon.org. It was by proximity to a certain number of active users, rather than simply descending or ascending.

nostr:npub14k23hl0c7a0ecs42wndgxg4l7w9ve03jtdlg48hvj93zdtq2cf9q3ted68 Welcome to Germany. Your trains are probably also going to be late.
