Check out the full changelog:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!

Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other

I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community

#rugbyunion post: Was anyone at the #Wales v Argentina #rugby match on Saturday in #Cardiff - what did you think of the atmosphere?

We sang pretty much the whole time but it was only at the end people joined in - with 'Happy Birthday' to Taulupe Faletau being the surprise hit of the night.

Compared to football it feels quiet. When the crowd is said to be the 16th player, it seems like a wasted opportunity.

Anyway, please enjoy this #photo I took of a line-out.

Many people don't know #RSS anymore, although it is really handy.

The #FSFE is still offering its news as RSS: https://fsfe.org/news/news.en.rss and the events https://fsfe.org/events/events.en.rss -- also as calendar feed https://fsfe.org/events/events.en.ics

@kirschner
Just give #YH4F a mention on the Computing at School forum.

See if anyone takes up the challenge.

I know of Minetest but I do not have much interest in it. I already play Minecraft modpacks.

Vintage Story, on the other hand, looks completely different and looks graphically superior to either Minecraft and Minetest.

#introduction

First post on #HomeServer! For those that don't know me, I'm an audio engineer/digital musician, new to the world of self hosting, Linux and RasPi (long time Mac/Logic/ProTools/Ableton user).

I don't like what the internet has become so decided to be change I want to see. I'll be posting idiotic questions about self hosting, privacy, coding etc. but also music, economics, tech and cats (of which I have two).

Feel free to connect :)

The first time I went online, which would've been around '95, I was already about 2/3 of the way through the life I've lived so far. "Take a step back and imagine the world without the Internet. No social media, websites, e-commerce stores, or online chat rooms.

"Mastodon instances should be limited from growing beyond a certain size. Instances that are already too large should have ways of encouraging people to migrate to smaller ones." -- or why you should not toot about your birthday on #Mastodon.

Excellent arguments here by @aral
