Can someone catch me up on the de-federation thing that's apparently happening?

@dangillmor

We all did the same thing with other similar known-abusive actors Gab and Truth Social when they threatened to join. It worked.

Photographers and artists rejoice—just like in the official iOS and Android apps, pictures are no longer cropped to 16:9 on the web version of Mastodon. Link previews have also gotten a face lift, and will now show both the article date and author when available.

@Gargron Was there a release yesterday that I missed?

⚠️ Hey FYI there is a Mastodon security update apparently coming 6 July.

The reason you probably didn't know about it, is because it was only announced* behind a proprietary centralized paywalled garden. (Not Twitter, but the same effect.)

Be ready.
