@purism Is there a way to show a "bounce" message or something for people trying to DM someone on social.librem.one from another instance?

I can't receive DMs because they are disabled on the instance I'm on, but if you send me one, there is no way for you to know this. SO, I'm NOT ignoring you. I just don't see them. :)

Tomorrow 11/2 at 11:30AM EDT: I'm joining a panel of experts in DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) for some lively discussion around and frontiersdigitaldevforum.com/a

A tip for those who haven't seen this yet. has its own "" system. Adding a link to your Mastodon profile from your website using the rel="me" attribute will that the owner of both the site and profile are the same, and you get this nifty green highlight to show it.

I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail staff@mastodon.social if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.

@phenaproxima@mastodon.social Love the bio. 😆

OH at the coffee shop: “Wherever there’s a problem, bear mace solves it.” Well okay then.

Figured I should post an #intro here for those who don’t know me! I’m Aubrey and I work as a #frontenddev at Lullabot, doing fun #drupal goodness with #css and #html. I also write #javascript sometimes, too! For fun I #knit, #run, and plan in my #hobonichi using my many #fountainpens. Give me a follow if any of that sounds interesting!

Hi folks, figured I should finally do an #introduction here!

I'm Ruth, she/her, based in the UK.

I work full time for #Acquia as Project Lead for @mautic - yes, I'm paid to work in #opensource - super awesome!

#Mautic is an Open Source #MarketingAutomation platform which allows you to do cool stuff across the digital experience - mautic.org.

Outside work I am a #musician (learning flute, piano & music theory), #buddhist #Vegan #Runner, and live with #EhlersDanlosSyndrome.

Hey friends! What are your thoughts on measuring to open source projects? Is that a worthy pursuit? Is there a methodology that works well? I'm mostly only familiar with the credit system, but I am curious about these types of metrics in general.

I’m using IFTTT to cross-post back to Twitter, but if you are considering diving into the fediverse, you can find me on social.Librem.one. Why? Because I trust @kylerankin and team more than most. 😁

Welcome to all the new folks in the #twittermigration and those returning. Remember, the #Fediverse is what you want it to be, not something a pushed at you. It's what YOU make it.

Also please don't forget that the instance you're on isn't run by a billionaire or even millionaire. They're normal folks like you or I that are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts and wallets. So don't forget to #tipyouradmin .

Finally @feditips and @FediFollows is a great place to start!
