Hi #mastoadmin - anyone willing to work with our company on proposing a PR to #mastodon to add #PhotoDNA scanning feature for inbound messages to help prevent the scourge of #csam? We're not developers, but might be able to help fund/promote a type of hook/API call or maybe even a PhotoDNA account for smaller instances to use that helps auto report to #ncmec ... reach out if interested.

It's a great day to not run your own #fediverse instance - join https://www.ourselves.space for free, or, for a small monthly fee, bring your own domain to the fediverse without running a server: https://www.thedoodleproject.com/singleuser for more!
Elk is being promoted in the Microsoft Store this week! If you're a Windows user, leave us a rating or review for Elk there! It would help new users visiting the product page when evaluating whether to try Elk (and/or @Mastodon) for the first time! 🧡
A big shoutout to the MS Store team for making this happen! 🙌
Well, that was weird, we just restarted the main ourselves.space instance after a flood of errors came through - maybe some junk traffic that we weren't properly handling. All appears well. Holler if anything seems amiss!
Periodic reminder that @jerry also maintains Lemmy (Reddit replacement) instance infosec.pub where I moderate https://infosec.pub/c/exploitdev exploit development link aggregation community aiming to collect the most juicy technical links on vulnerability research, reverse engineering and exploit writing. Come join us!
It's a great day in the #fediverse! We've got stable services for you as you join in. Moving servers is no problem here! We've got #writefreely, #peertube, #bookwyrm, and #mastodon compatible feeds. Visit https://www.ourselves.space to learn more!
Here's an update to our post two days ago regarding our initial vibes about Threads by Meta. As we continue to learn more, we'll keep updating. The graphic below represents DuckDuckGo's analysis of what this app is doing on your phone. If unchanged, this app represents a veritable Hoover Vacuum of spying and tracking. Forget our semi-competing product for a moment - this is like shockingly bad. Apple and Android should pull the app from the store. Please keep your children far away from this.
Excited to announce that our server upgrade completed and we're now running the latest and greatest of the great #takahe. From here on out, you'll need to leverage one of the many great #mastodon compatible apps to interact with the server as the web UX is now dedicated to providing a great landing space for our dedicated domains and highlighting the local feed. We are particularly fond of @elk and works great with https://ourselves.space.
Good morning #fediverse! We're going down for a few minutes RIGHT NOW to patch the #mastodon security update. Back in a few. #mastoadmin
Yikes! We love the traffic, but hold on to your rears my #mastoadmins, we're going down for an oh crap right now across all services for a router swap (datacenter melting).
If you're a new #twitter #twittermigration, welcome, we hope you'll stick around!

A good article from Bark about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and how it impacts our kids. The Doodle Project uses and recommends Bark (no affiliation/compensation). We can help, just let us know! (it's particularly touchy about iOS devices). ://www.bark.us/blog/5-ways-ai-aff
It's a great day in the #fediverse! For our users of ourselves.space main instance, big update coming soon. For an idea of what's coming, please check out the Takahe blog announcement. ://docs.jointakahe.org/en/latest/ The interface change is mostly related to the web app. Really excited about this update as it brings even more power to our multi-domain support. All your mobile apps will work the same. We'll provide more details on our upgrade in the coming day or so.
"Advertisers are returning to Twitter after Linda Yaccarino calmed fears over content moderation. But now brands like Disney, Microsoft, and the NBA have ads placed next to neo-Nazi propaganda."
