Hey, everybody. This is just a reminder to support your Mastodon instance's administrator. For all the homies here at infosec.exchange, that's @jerry!

Please take a look at this instance's "About" page for all the details of how to make a monetary donation to support our community and to thank Jerry.

infosec.exchange/about

Mastodon hosted on infosec.exchangeInfosec ExchangeA Mastodon instance for info/cyber security-minded people.

For a project I’m testing, I need to add auto-follow of an account for new account signups on my #Mastodon instance. I know that was officially dropped a few years ago, but has anyone put together a script to do this by either being triggered when a new user signs up or checking via cron job every so often? I'd be grateful for the code if you have! #MastoAdmin

Given the state of the U.S. /weary/ I need to prioritize some long-delayed things. I've asked this before and dug around, but couldn't find any confirmation/denial. I don't know what country my server (Mas.to) @trumpet is based in. I think it'd be best for me to be on a server hosted elsewhere if it's not.

If you can help with info on my server or a safer alternative, please let me know.

Mastodons Purismus


So sieht der Beitrag bei mir auf Friendica aus. Natürlich kann das bei anderen Friendica Usern auch anders aussehen, es gibt da zahlreiche Themes und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten.

Und so entstellt bei Mastodon das das Video nicht im Beitrag darstellen kann:

Trotzdem Danke an Mastodon, den Videos kann man dort sehr bequem hochladen und dann für andere Plattformen nutzen. 😀

Hey everyone,

Just a heads-up: scammers and spam bots are getting craftier by the minute, and even the most cautious among us can slip up. I got an email out of the blue saying my Mastodon account had been hacked, and it urged me to “contact the JBee Spy Team” at conleyjbeespy606@gmail.com, on Telegram at +44 7456 058620, or via Instagram to get things sorted.

A good friend spotted the red flags and confirmed it was a scam—sadly, lots of people have already fallen for it. What’s crazy is that the scammers are using AI‑generated videos on Instagram to look legit, and Instagram still hasn’t banned the impostor account pretending to be the “JBee Spy Team.”

I’ve deleted the email, blocked the sender, and reported the Instagram profile, but I wanted to share this so you can stay safe, too. If you get anything like this, don’t click, don’t reply, just block and report. Spread the word so nobody else gets caught out!

News orgs and journalists were handed a once-in-a-generation gift when Musk broke Twitter—a chance to own their audience and rebuild on their own terms.

Instead, they bounced to yet another platform they don’t control.

Mastodon offered something better:
— Independence
— Not just a profile, a platform

Oh well. Live by the platform, die by the platform.

Ich benutze am Handy den #Webclient für #mastodon.
Wenn ich ein Video abspiele (Vollbild) und dann das Handy ins Querformat drehe, wird das Vollbild verlassen, das Video gestoppt und das UI springt wild irgendwo hin.
Kennt ihr das und kann man das irgendwie abstellen?

Dear FediPeople, I require your wisdom once again, please if you have any reliable links regarding how LLM and GenAI works, their downsides, legal issues and environmental impact, share it here so I can be less ignorant and actually put my critical thinking into works.

I had another "AI discussion" with someone and my brain got extremely fried by the amount of misunderstandings I was listening, so please, let me gather "The Sauce" so I can dip my argument better.

@Osma A 🇫🇮🇺🇦 Sounds like Phanpy fixes what Mastodon doesn't even acknowledge as an issue.

But your comment kind of demonstrates to me how not even Hubzilla supports "shadow mentions" (because it didn't need them when it was made, seeing as it supports enclosed threaded conversations): I wasn't notified about your comment, I only saw it as an unread message.

I guess I would have been notified, had I participated in this thread from one of my (streams) channels. (streams) and Forte are more geared towards a Fediverse that doesn't support threaded conversations all over, one that's dominated by Mastodon and mostly used for Twitter-style minimalist microblogging.

Ideally from a Mastodon POV, these "shadow mentions" should include everyone in the current branch of the thread. Ideally from a threaded conversations POV, they should go as far as mentioning all participants in the whole thread. But that kind of "black magic" would scare quite a few Mastodon users out of their minds unfortunately.
