Don't verified linkbacks already kinda serve that purpose? If someone hijacks your account, you can remove the linkbacks from your site(s), thereby un-verifying the hijacked account?
I'm not certain. This is me thinking out loud in response to you thinking out loud. 😂

Another Black person played Mastodon "instance roulette" and lost.
We need a Mastodon instance Green Book pronto or this ain't gonna work.
This is starting to feel like the WW2 Dunkirk evacuation where the Black and Indian Commonwealth soldiers were abandoned on the beach...

What's obvious to basically everyone in the industry but is probably surprising to everyone else is that twitter is a harder problem than getting a rocket to the moon. One of these problems only involves physics, the other involves humans.
@bit0fun
Ack all good, my reply was terse and direct because I lack social grace. 😂 I didn't assume any position on your part. ☮️

@bit0fun
Matt knows, and he's (justifiably, IMO) pushing back, as adopting the practice would basically silence him. I'm responding, because I imagine he's exhausted at telling ppl he already knows about CW "norms", and that those norms lack nuance.

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,
"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."
He's photomatt on Twitter, or look here too: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/
Boost for visibility, please? Spread the word!
@nova
The Smilodon fork disables them for everyone. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
@kyle
Working through merge conflicts. I hope the real time notes are ok? If not, lmk, I'll chill.
@kyle
Ok I have the sysadmin steps for the upgrade to 4.0.2 written out long form, and a tl;Dr of just what to do. Once I get into gitlab, I'll copy my notes into a PR. Do we run in docker or something else?
@kyle
Do y'all have a chat space you lurk in? Does anyone want the play by play feedback on this? Like I see we're at 3.12, Imma start upgrading to 3.54, following the upgrade docs for each, per Masto docs. Then apply 4.0.2. Fixing what breaks along the way. That kinda noise? Do you want it somewhere? 😂
@kyle
The big boi isn't as scary as it first appears. The add'l specs do a good job of communicating intent. Am I gonna freak anyone out if I throw my autistic energy at it this weekend through next?
