I would like to turn this list into a "Collection" on Mastodon but that means almost all these accounts need to turn on the discovery setting.
If you could do that, book stores and other small businesses, it would really help me help others discover your profile.

You know what *might* really help reduce spam sign-ups on Mastodon? Let instance admins pick their own security questions.
To register on oslo.town, you must answer: "Hvilket område ligger Barcode?"
To register on toot.wales answer: "Cwblhewch enw'r orsaf drenau ganlynol: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio____"
To register on k-pop.social answer: "Name the missing BTS member: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and ____"

Feels fairly unreasonable to expect no changes at all to an ongoing project.
On the plus side, if you really want to be stuck on version 4.X, then you can have your own Mastodon server running 4.X and everyone else can update to 5 onwards.

I'm also looking forward to these updates. They look great. 🙃

The new toggle says, "Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon." All users are opted in by default. It's located at the bottom of users' security settings page.

It's interesting (annoying) that when it's pending that it doesn't just give you a link to click to access the original in a new tab.
Isn't the link already in the toot, it's just formatted like a preview instead?

I refuse to use a flagship server because it defeats the point of decentralisation. 🙃

The #DeltaChat server that I was using seems to have stopped working for receiving messages, which sucks 😞 but such is the nature of decentralisation 🤷
It's really easy just to start a new account on a new server - so that's not really a problem - but I'm lucky that I only have one contact that message on the app because "re-adding" people isn't super straight forward. 🤔

Are you in Oslo on the 11th? Vaterland - popular hangout for metal folk - has a show on. 🎸

That said, you're not going to be able to move downtown for football fans. ⚽ 😂

I am already following [@wimbledon](https://tags.pub/profile/wimbledon ) but, I guess compared to the #worldcup it pales in comparison.
Would be fun to see more sports-specific instances in the fediverse. I did see TWO for Miami Dolphins at one point, but I think they are both gone.

You and I are the only people on my timeline frequently tooting about #wimbledon :wimbledon:

My daughter knew two people called Maja but she's recently met two more and "young Maja" and "adult Maja" no longer works to identify them.
Nobody in the house really likes my suggestion, that they should be called Maja-hi, Maja-hoo, Maja-hah, Maja-ha-ha

I'm going to replace the fediverse icon on Wikipedia with this 😘

How illegal is it to transmit something on FM airwaves these days? I mean, nobody cares, right?
