one of my favorite things is when someone uses an emoji representing their special interest as a general "love" emoji.

i have one baker friend that uses 🍞 for everything, and i work with a guy who is a volunteer steam locomotive engineer on the weekends - he uses 🚂 as his general positive reaction.

i love it!

Nevar forget the Quadro Tracker, the device sold to police agencies allegedly able to track anything, which instead of a circuitboard was revealed to just have ants glued to paper with epoxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadro_Tracker

Oh wait I have to pay attention to notifications from all those?!

Do you have physical therapy exercises you aren't doing but should be? Go do them! You'll feel better!

Why?

If its not a hashtag, its not searchable, so you are not protecting yourself from dogpiling.

If I don't want to see posts about Lord Voldemort, I'll have his name in my mute list. I don't want to have to make a million variations to deal with your *s or weird phrases and (implicitly) asking that i do this is too much. The more the person is inflammatory, the more your respelling is aggressively mute-dodging. (I'm not talking about accidental misspellings. People shouldn't feel like they need perfect spelling to discuss difficult subjects.)

If you are so concerned about naming somebody, put it under a descriptive CW: "the 45th president of the US", " Historical Nazis" etc, but use their actual name in the post.

anyway I put way too much effort into this, enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6_AH4taMXE

[this actually happened to me, in 2019]

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry
Her: ...
Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin

#mastoadmin #mastodev

to make things easier on admins who dislike some of the new changes in Mastodon 4.0, i'm making available a docker image based on the vanilla Mastodon image with the patches I wrote that restore 3.5's behaviour.

If you use Docker, you can replace the existing mastodon image paths with:
- docker hub: maffsie/patchstodon:latest
- docker hub: maffsie/patchstodon:v4.0.2
- my registry: commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party:patchstodon-latest
- my registry: commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party:patchstodon-v4.0.2

These docker images are built for amd64 only (i don't have another build host) and contain the following patches:

- https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_1-no-sql-search-boosting.patch - Reverts search behaviour to no longer prioritise accounts with more followers or more recent activity

- https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_2-keep-digest-emails.patch - Re-adds the digest emails option (it was removed in favour of emailing you every time you got a notification if you didn't have an active connection to the Streaming server)

- https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_3_app-no-boring-elephants.patch and https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_3_config-no-boring-elephants.patch - Re-adds all the references to toots, tooting, etc.

- https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_4-revert-captive-links.patch - Reverts that nasty captive link thing in 4.0 which breaks middle-clicking or right-clicking and copying the link for a toot or user not on your instance

The images are generated by cloning https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party.git, cd-ing into the repo, and typing `make patchstodon`.
