Allen Realname Versfeld<p>Is anybody else struggling with S3 storage these past few days?</p><p>Almost all media files are "Preview not available" and my logs are full of lines like this: </p><p>WARN -- : Error storing media attachment: Failed to open TCP connection to mastodon-constellation.s3.af-south-1.amazonaws.com:443 (execution expired)</p><p>My config hasn't changed and I haven't even looked at my AWS console in weeks, so pretty certain that I haven't changed anything.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.monoceros.co.za/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a></p>
Grow Your Own Services 🌱<p>If you run a public server with special features such as extended post lengths, additional poll options, rich text etc, you might want to mention these in your server's description.</p><p>A lot of new people join big stock Mastodon servers and aren't sure about the differences between servers. Something very concrete like longer posts is a really good way of getting them thinking about moving.</p><p>It's not the only reason to move, but it's a good way to get their attention! 🙂 </p><p><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a></p>

Johan Empa<p>Okay, there was a little April fools joke hidden inside this tread 😁 There's no de-federation planned for 1 July 2025.</p><p>Tried to be a bit funny with the poll by not including any real "no" option, but then again, should "no built-in climate action" be an option anywhere these days?</p><p>That said, the poll is useful as it is. Thank you for voting in it. Most people voted with a strong "yes", followed by "💯 🎯". </p><p>6/5 <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MastodonGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonGreen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastoadmin</span></a></p>

Johan Empa<p>Now is the time to take a principled stand for a greener social web! Now is the time for climate action.</p><p>I'm hereby giving three months notice before de-federating Mastodon.green from non-tree-planting fediverse servers, i.e. those who hasn't announced a credible plan to adopt the Green Fediverse Protocol by 1&nbsp;July 2025.</p><p>This will only apply to servers with income, such as mastodon.social, pixelfed.social, tchncs.de, flipboard.com, chaos.social etc.</p><p>4/n <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MastodonGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonGreen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastoadmin</span></a></p>

Michael<p>Over the last 24 or so hours I've been subject to a harassment campaign where people have encouraged me to kill myself, and/or called me racist and homophobic slurs, and/or accused me of pedophilia.</p><p>Most of the abuse came from a small number of instances:</p><p>nicecrew[.]digital<br>shit[.]poster[.]place<br>parcero[.]casa</p><p>(The last one actually has multiple abusive instances under multiple two-letter-subdomains - I recommend blocking the apex.)</p><p>As these instances are all dedicated to 'free speech’, 'satire’, or ‘shit-posting’ (as we all know these terms are all synonymous with abuse) I would recommend a fediblock on these instances, if you don't already block them.</p><p>(If anyone is curious: This all started because someone spread the rumour that FediFetcher doesn't respect robots.txt.

Michael<p>I have a report in my mastodon moderation interface. </p><p>Rather than just suspend the user in question, I want to suspend the instance as a whole.
