Mementomori.social has always been a very liberal, pro-tech instance. You could say I wear my "certified Techbro Asshole" title as a badge of honor rather than a badge of shame.
We allow tags.pub, threads.net, bird.makeup, kilogram.makeup, use of GenAI (as long as it complies with other terms), associations and organizations, companies, marketing, the Bluesky bridge bridgy.fed, bots, and users with API access and so on.
It is entirely up to users whom to block, which servers or entire instances to block, and whom to follow or not follow. If this bothers you, you also have the right to limit or block us or me as you see fit.
I know even posting about this might make some people uncomfortable, but I want to be as transparent about these things as possible. These details have been listed on our About page and in our Code of Conduct since 2022.
Most importantly, I want to emphasize that we welcome users from all sides of the spectrum regardless of status, gender, movement, political party (excluding extremism). However, we are NOT a free speech instance. On the contrary, even though we're liberal, you cannot say or post anything that goes against the Code of Conduct or that we consider a violation. Bullies, trolls, and disruptors are not welcome here.
If you notice any wrongdoing or harassment, please report it to us right away.

Ei taas tätä narratiivia...
"Hirveä onnettomuus Itäväylällä: Mies ja nainen kuolivat
Tämänhetkisen käsityksen mukaan mies ja nainen olivat ajoradalla, kun kauppakeskus Redin suunnasta tullut auto törmäsi heihin.
– Ei osata vielä sanoa, mikä se tilanne on ollut, Lindholm sanoo kysyttäessä, mitä kaksikko teki keskellä tietä."
Sitten jutussa vaivihkaa mainitaan, että joku kaahannut kännissä yli ja ajanut pois. Mutta toimittaja tekee kaikkensa, että ei vaan autoilijaa mainittaisi, vaikka miten törkeä teko. Uhrien syy niin pitkään kunnes toisin todistetaan? Ei koskaan pyhän autoilijan?

What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.
I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.
It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.
I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

RE: https://mementomori.social/@rolle/116778439408806278
A small request for everyone using Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0, no matter how you installed it: if something looks broken or off, please report it along with your version details (which Mastodon version you are running, which version of Mastodon Bird UI you built, and how you built it, Custom CSS or SCSS in your Mastodon fork).
Several post-launch fixes have already been made thanks to people reporting issues, and I can only fix what I know about. Bug reports genuinely make the theme better for everyone: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/issues
For example, I just fixed a bug where the profile description lost the spacing below it (no margin after the bio). If you noticed that, grab the latest 4.0.0 and it’s fixed.

Quick heads-up for Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 Custom CSS users: I noticed that the build was only compiling the main mastodon-bird-ui.css file, which left the variant files (light, stars, accessible, accessible-plus) outdated, and the light version wasn't compiling at all. It's now fixed, and all five files are rebuilt and up to date in 4.0.0. I personally use a Mastodon fork with SCSS, so I accidentally overlooked this.
If you're using one of the variants through Custom CSS, re-copy it from dist/: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/tree/main/dist
If you're using the plain mastodon-bird-ui.css, it was always fine and needs no changes. Sorry for the mix-up!

Glad you think it could be useful! I can put something together and send a PR to add it to the core. It's small enough that including it in-tree is probably the easiest option. I'm happy to adjust it to match your stylelint setup, and I can test it against main. What I'm not interested in right now is maintaining another npm package, I already have too many. I agree, there aren't many SCSS stylelint plugins out there, I'm already maintaining a few older ones.

:skull360: We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-rc.1+mementomods-2026-06-13, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc nightly updates.
Mastodon hit Release Candidate this round. The 4.6 release is right around the corner.
This update includes today's latest daily build with 85 new commits from upstream since our last build mementomods-2026-06-07.
What's new in Mastodon core, these are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:
- Import Custom Filters, the import side of last release's export, so you can move your filter rules between accounts and instances
- Bot notifications can be filtered with a new dedicated policy, separate from regular filtered-notifications handling
- Newsletters can now be viewed individually in the admin UI
- Polls and media attachments can be combined in the same post (the old restriction is lifted)
- Media attachment descriptions raised to a 10000 character limit
- Media attachments now carry duration in their ActivityPub representation, so audio and video duration travels with the post over federation
- Collections continue to polish
- Several internal refactors (typing-statuses representation, sundry test coverage on background workers) that should make future patches smoother
- Changelog now points to the right profile-API documentation
Fixes & improvements
- Account hovercard sometimes not triggering, fixed
- "Unlisted collections" profile section was visible to other users, now properly hidden
- Editing a post failed when the post had both a poll and attachments, the validation check is now consistent
- "Remove me from collection" confirmation dialog copy was misleading, cleaned up
- Missing string for custom filter import added
- Missing heading styles in settings area restored
- Loading or errored emoji in a detailed status display name no longer causes a line break
- Sensitive media card display fixed
- Unable to unmark media as sensitive when "always mark media as sensitive" is enabled, fixed
- Sidekiq Elasticsearch connection cleanup made robust
- Avatar and profile header description fields are now serialized over ActivityPub (so alt text actually federates)
- Intermittent failure in `RankedTrend` locales pluck (order-dependent), fixed
- Broken column header layout after the heading refactor, fixed
- Uncontained text overflow in column header, fixed
- Tiny checkboxes and radio buttons in Safari, fixed
- Font size of `Callout` component actions in Safari, fixed
- Alignment of icon and text in `Callout` component, tightened
- Missing boolean check in Admin Reports API, fixed
- Inconsistent `keyboard_shortcuts.translate` string, normalized
- Crash on standalone Wrapstodon and embedded status pages (#39400), fixed
- Poll options ordering below uploads in the compose form, fixed
Accessibility
- Navigation focus management overhauled, focus stays where it should after sidebar interactions
- Alerts ("toasts") are now announced by assistive tech
- Column extra buttons moved out of the h1 column heading
- Patched over the worst a11y issues from the "simple" ruby gems
🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)
Side-panel and profile polish, plus some small UX wins:
- Compact navigation items (font-size 17px, gap 7px) on screen heights below 1080px so more nav links fit on a laptop
- Navigation menu scrollbar is now minimal (Firefox thin, WebKit 4px) instead of the dominant OS default
- Trends section top margin removed for a tighter side panel
- Trends drop to 2 items on screen heights below 830px (4 items fit above that)
- Dropdown menus are capped to the viewport height and become scrollable on short or zoomed screens
- Avatar follow badge sits above the display name (z-index) so the first row of the status stays clickable (only for forks that have experimental For you enabled)
- Account timeline filters render above the profile header

:skull360: We just shipped some new features of our own to mementomori.social! 🎉
New:
- "For you" feed (experimental). Open your home column settings and switch on "Ranked order" to try an algorithmic feed: posts ranked by engagement and by who you interact with, fresh content on every refresh, and you'll rarely see the same post twice. Flip on "Include posts from people you don't follow" to discover new accounts beyond your follows. See someone interesting there? Tap the + on their avatar to follow them.
- PageUp and PageDown scroll the page normally again (thanks @npub1yex…magq for the feedback on this one!)
- The navigation is a bit tidier: Collections and Followed hashtags now live under "More".
The For you feed is fully opt-in. Your home feed stays exactly as it was unless you turn it on. Feedback very welcome!

2026-06-10 08:15:54 UTC

Mementomori.social experienced 57 minutes of downtime earlier today. Here's what happened and what we've done about it.
What happened: A large volume of connections from external crawler/bot IP ranges accumulated in a stuck state (CLOSE_WAIT) inside our web server (nginx). These zombie connections exhausted nginx's connection pool and connections per worker, which caused it to stop accepting new connections entirely resulting in ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED for everyone trying to reach the site.
Why it took 57 minutes: The sole admin available (me) was in a meeting when the issue began, and other admins were unavailable. There was no automated recovery in place to detect and resolve this type of failure.
How it was resolved: Nginx was restarted, which cleared all stale connections and immediately restored service.
What we've done to prevent this:
- Installed and configured Monit, a process monitoring tool that automatically checks all critical services (web, background workers, streaming, database, cache, and nginx) every 2 minutes and restarts them if they become unresponsive
- This means similar outages should now self-heal within minutes, even when no admin is available
I'm really sorry for the disruption. We take the reliability of this instance seriously, and this change should make a real difference moving forward. I'm also planning to apply other mitigations, as some parts of our instance may have been underconfigured.

Now my PT bot can analyze the areas I've already run and create new routes automatically using AI, Strava, and GraphHopper. All I need to do is upload the GPX file to WorkOutDoors or Runna on my watch and head out to conquer new paths...

Suomessa hyssytellään natseja. Paskaperseet sanovat, että uhri "provosoi" tai "kerjäsi verta nenästään". Natseja pitää voida sanoa natseiksi ja heidän pitää olla ei-toivottuja ilman että tulee turpaan. Olemmeko unohtaneet miten NSDAP nousi puolueeksi 1930-luvulla?

Here, Incognito mode uses Tor, and vertical tabs work perfectly with full hiding. @npub19rt…adh9 would otherwise be my top choice, but it has some weird edge-case bugs, like the fact that not all extensions work in incognito mode. There are many good, minimal and private browsers available, but Google Meet or Netflix don't work on them (because of DRM and Widevine...)
The sad truth is that most browsers are bloated crap. As a CSS person, I'm just not interested in the slow progress of Firefox-based browsers, I need latest web standards and something Chrome-based to use the modern web. Project Ladybird sounds interesting. They are writing the entire browser from the ground up, including the engine... pretty crazy stuff. I wish them luck and success.

Mastodon is not going to allow colored badges anymore, but we are going to keep them in our instance. With this rate of deprecation, we can expect even more forks, but that's OK. Luckily, Mastodon is open source.

Ymmärrän, että pitää olla siellä missä nuoret on, mutta tuo on melkein sama kuin huutelisi traumaattisia asioita kylillä kaikille. Vakoilualustoille ei pitäisi keskittää luottamuksellisia keskusteluita.

Monet käyttävät alt-indikaattoria ihan vain nähdäkseen missä kuvissa on alt-tekstit ja missä ei, jos haluavat esimerkiksi päättää jakavatko postauksen sen perusteella.
Tätä näkyvää indikaattoria ei itse asiassa ollut aikaisemmin ja se lisättiin varta vasten 3 vuotta sitten, ks. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18394
Asian valinnaiseksi tekeminen olisi hieman liian iso työ hyötyyn nähden, enkä itse ainakaan siihen aio ryhtyä toistaiseksi.

"Design is dead."
"Coding is dead."
"Startups are dead."
AI fanatics seem to predict the death of everything. Since when did focusing on death become something to celebrate? (I realize the irony in this since my server is mementomori.social, but that's different)
I think AI will definitely speed things up and make things more efficient, but it also raises serious issues around security, privacy, the environment, and jobs.
As a lifelong coder, I embrace the technology, but I still hate the hype. It leaves me feeling pretty conflicted.

Koen samaa hämmennystä omassa työssäni ohjelmoijana. Ennen oli muita "oikoreittejä", nyt on AI. Tekoälyn käyttäminen ei vähennä vastuuta. Mutta missä on ongelma, jos kukaan ei tiedä, että aivan yhtä laadukas (ellei laadukkaampi) tuotokseni on osin AI:n tekemää... pohdittavaa itse kullekin.
Musiikki on ainoa laji, joka vielä kuuluu korvaan, eikä aivot pysty sallimaan kuuntelemista, vaikka miten hyvältä kuulostaisi AI:n tekemänä. Mutta mitä tapahtuu sitten, kun ei enää huomaa yksinkertaisesti mistään? Sitten sitä varmaan kaipaa vaan oman maun mukaisia tai jonkin sortin uniikkiutta. Koska on aika saatanan työmaa tehdä joka ikinen kerta "onko tekoälyä käytetty" -tyyppinen salapoliisityö.

This is actually why I didn't want it to be automatic. I personally prefer to choose per-app, and I hate auto light/dark. The upcoming Mastodon version has separate theme and dark/light settings, so it will be easier to choose. But before 4.6.0, either the themes forced it, or it was automatic.
We have an issue about this: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/issues/182
In the future, Mastodon Bird UI will support both ways.

Really good thread, and a really good blog post, or essay, I should say. I respect the honesty in it, and I understand the standpoint.
However, I want to share a genuinely different experience: using Claude Code and similar tools has actually made coding more enjoyable for me, not less. And I don’t think I’m in denial about that. I've learned a lot more over the past year through GenAI since ever before, and I've been coding for the web almost every day for nearly 30 years.
The difference might come down to how you approach it. If your relationship with the tool turns into just "tapping Y and hoping for the best", then yeah, that IS miserable. But that's not the only way to look at it.
For me, it feels more like having a really fast pair programming partner. I still make the architectural decisions, I still write specs, I still understand why things are the way they are, and I still review everything. And I still code, some. But I no longer need to power through the tedious parts, the boilerplate, the plumbing, the bits I've written hundreds of times. That frees me up to focus on what I actually enjoy: the design, the problem-solving, the features, the “what if we tried this” moments, the drafting, and the documentation.
The drinky bird pipeline is real, and it’s a valid concern but it’s not inevitable. It’s a choice. The tool doesn't make you check out, but it does make it easy to, and that’s something worth being honest about.
Where I completely agree: the systemic concerns don't go away just because individual use can be responsible. And the skill-atrophy risk is real for those still building their foundations. Not everyone is in the same position when picking up these tools.

It's a genuinely interesting question because as a Finn, it doesn't always feel like the happiest place on earth and I think most Finns would squirm a little at that label. We're not really a "loudly happy" culture.
But I do think we've built some things well, and it's worth being honest about that. Free education at every level, universal healthcare, low corruption, a legal right to access nearly all forests, lakes and coastlines (Everyman's Rights), and workplaces that in theory and often in practice actually value your time outside of work. Trust in public institutions is high, and income inequality, while not perfect, is significantly lower than in most wealthy countries. Those aren't small things. They shape the texture of daily life in ways that are easy to take for granted.
What the happiness ranking really measures, I think, is whether the basic machinery of a society is functioning, whether people feel safe or whether they can make real choices about their lives, and whether bad luck or a wrong turn doesn't completely destroy you. By those measures, Finland does reasonably well.
That said, there's plenty that's wrong or struggling here too housing costs in cities, an ageing population, mental health challenges (the 6 months of dark winters don't help despite your location, in the North it's dark all year), and a political conversation that isn't immune to the same pressures pulling at other European countries. The happiness ranking can sometimes feel like it belongs to a slightly idealized version of Finland that glosses over those things.
I think the honest version is that we've made good structural choices over decades, and those compound. It's not magic or national character, it's policy, and it's fragile. You have to keep choosing it. Just my 2 cents.

Koskaan aiemmin en ole nähnyt yhtä paljon raivo- tai koukutusansoja netissä. Meta on hyvin osannut taitavasti kouluttaa käyttäjänsä myös kaivamaan infoa toisistaan, jota voivat myydä eteenpäin. Kaikki ikään kuin tietävät, että Threadsiin kuuluu postata tällaisia kyselyitä.

Hyvä kooste. Itselläni on pitkälti samankaltaista käyttöä, enimmäkseen Claude Code maksimitierillä mennään, koska käytän agentuurisesti ja CLI:n kautta erilaisissa sovelluksissa niin paljon, saattaa pyöriä 8 agenttia subagentteineen samaan aikaan. Maxissa ei ole vielä koskaan tulleet rajat vastaan.
Käytössä myös OpenRouter ja paljon itse ohjelmoimiani sovelluksia, mm. 6kk päivittäin kehittämäni "tietoisuus" joka osaa tietyssä rajoissa olla proaktiviinen, kuin OpenClaw ennen OpenClawia ja toimia Claude Coden kanssa yhteistyössä. Linux-koneellani on myös Open WebUI ja omia plugineita sekä paikallista ollamaa hyödyntäviä asioita. Eli vähän laidasta laitaan, lähtenyt hieman lapasesta.
Kun md-filut ovat sen verran kehittyneitä, yhä vähemmän jää "raakakoodattavaa" ja se onkin asiain tila nykyään. AI toimii hyvänä lisäkäsiparina.

I often forget how amazing it is to be able to communicate without speech, hearing, or sight, eyes closed, in silence. And yet have entire conversations.
We take our senses of sight and hearing for granted. Touch calms the nervous system, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, strengthens social bonds, signals safety, and activates the feel-good neurotransmitters of the brain. But it's also a way to communicate 🤟

:skull360: We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-alpha.5+mementomods-2026-03-21, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4.
This update includes today's latest daily build with 269 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-02-21.
What's new in Mastodon core - These are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:
✨️ New features
- Collections: Public collections on profiles, remote account support, share dialog, reporting, moderation tools, tag suggestions, and language selector (not active for us yet)
- Profile editing: New API, avatar/header image uploading with descriptions, featured tags editing, account fields grid layout (not active for us yet)
- New `exclude_direct` flag for account statuses API
- Split `invite_users` permission into `invite_bypass_approval` for finer control
- `max_note_length` and `max_display_name_length` now exposed in instance configuration API
- Accessibility improvements to sign-up flow, reset password and confirmation pages
- Lots of fixes, refactors, and dependency updates
🔮 Upcoming
- Profile redesign and Collections continue to be built incrementally upstream behind experimental flags, we'll enable them once Mastodon Bird UI support is ready
- FASP (Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers) infrastructure continues to be developed
🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 (nightly)
- Fix focusable background color standing out too much for account name
- Fix install script for Mastodon 2026-03-21 `common.scss` removal
Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 is still a work in progress in the nightly branch. It's not 100% ready, but it's stable with today's Mastodon alpha.5. Unfortunately a development is a bit stalled due to a lack of time personally.
Source code: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mastodon
As always, if you notice anything unusual or buggy, please reach out to me or any of the admins. Enjoy your time here, and feel free to message me with any questions or thoughts. :bunhdheart:
