Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

@joergba We recommend searching for topics of interest of hashtags. However, if you would like access to live feeds we can add you to it.

@sam We can grant access to the live feeds for anyone who wants it.

https://www.fediscovery.org/ is particularly intended to help ensure small instances will be able to find content without having to bear the load of consuming a full relay with larger servers.

@untilted We certainly do, but the live feeds on mastodon.social are things posted in the last few seconds, it is essentially a pre-moderation view.

It is neither the best way for newcomers to find their community, nor much use to many established users. If people want to drink straight from the firehose, they can, but we do not recommend it.

As previously announced, live feeds are now disabled on our servers by default.

We don't think they provide a good experience on our server, but feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to still see them.

We appreciate every report you file, because it helps keep the community both welcoming and safe. We'd also like to acknowledge the work of a handful of incredible trusted flaggers, who have filed in some cases thousands of reports, as well as the moderation teams of all of our neighbors here.

mastodon.social has just handled it's 250,000th report! While we acknowledge that mastodon.social's size is too large a percentage of the fediverse (and have plans to address it), one benefit of being the fediverse's front door is that bad actors come to us first.

Today a new account using a handle that is against our rules got past the filter we use to automatically block rule-violating accounts. We apologize to the individuals who were harmed by this failure on our part. We believe in building a safe community here on Mastodon.Social, and stand by our commitment to Ban Nazis. We have banned the individual in question. We have updated our filter, and are conducting an in-depth review to make sure this will not happen again.
