Welcome to MastodonBD!

While our primary focus is Bangladesh - its people, culture, technology, and public discourse - the instance is open to everyone, regardless of location. We encourage respectful dialogue, diverse perspectives, and meaningful connections across borders.

If you believe in open social networks and constructive conversation, you are welcome here.

Let’s build this space thoughtfully, together.

Apparently i cant post a 1,1gb gif on here due to gateway time out. This is bullshit.

#mastoadmin

Server updates done. Just the usual package and kernel updates, nothing out of the ordinary. Sorry for the brief glitch, in case anyone noticed it.

#MastoAdmin #MementomoriSocial

Fedi instance owners going crazy with their custom emojis taking 2.8 GB in my media cache 😤

That's a LOT of emojis! 😂

Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

Nova onda de golpes no fediverso

Atenção: começou uma nova onda de spam a partir de falsos perfis de suporte dizendo que sua conta foi suspensa.

Obviamente é mentira, não clique em nenhum link. Denuncie o perfil!

Administradores, sugiro não deixar os cadastros abertos sem antes passar por análise.

phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.5.7, released about an hour and a half ago. #mastoadmin

We just released Mastodon 4.5.7, 4.4.14, and 4.3.20.

These versions contain various bug fixes. In particular, 4.5.7 and 4.4.14 include security fixes for the experimental FASP feature. Be sure to update if you have enabled it!

Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub releases page.

Server providers are raising their prices due to rising hardware and energy costs (RAM and SSD prices up to +500% since 2025). If you use a free or donation-based Mastodon server, keep in mind that hosting costs are going up, support your instance if you can.

So - I started work on moving our big database off of the cloud at around 11PM MST. It took some time to pull down that 450GB database, and it took a little longer than expected to restore that backup into our new database. As a result, our maintenance window was extended by three hours.

Once restored, we worked through some performance issues. This was expected as while we can test lots of things in a vacuum, sometimes without the real world load it's tough to know what to expect.

Once those performance tweaks were made, I saw some immediate improvement and we're now back and even better than before.

We're still working through the backlog of activity from the fediverse that we missed while we were down. It will probably take a few hours to catch up, so you'll see statuses from an hour or so ago popping up late. We're moving in the positive direction on this!

I've been looking forward to writing this for a long time: WE ARE FINALLY COMPLETELY OFF THE CLOUD. 🥳

#mstdnca #MastoAdmin

Auf kleineren Instanzen versuchen sich immer wieder irgendwelche Marketingfuzzis einzunisten, die dann von dort versuchen ihren Müll zu verbreiten. Erst sind sie auf größeren Instanzen unterwegs, werden dort vermutlich gesperrt und probieren es dann weiter. Erlebt ihr das eigentlich auch?

#mastodon #mastoadmin #abuse

Mastodon Canada will be taking a full and complete downtime to migrate our 450 GB database from the cloud to our servers.

We're reserving four hours for this work; we don't expect to use the entire time.

This is also a heads up to other #MastoAdmin that we may fill up your Sidekiq retry queues during this time.

Updates will be provided here as they become available: https://status.mstdn.ca/maintenance/831038

So, #ElasticSearch and #GlitchSoc; is there something else to install or do you just enable it in the env.production file?

#MastoAdmin

This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves.

So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?

What I mean specifically are these endless toggles everywhere. Click-click-click-click. Before it was just a click.

Also, why change the most used hashtags into a horizontal list? And what's with that huge button to show more pinned items? What was wrong with the old setup? The carousel wasn't great either, but I liked the version that showed them one below the other.

What problems are we actually trying to solve here?

I know these aren't shipped yet, but does anyone actually use Figma and discuss UX?

I feel like my Mastodon fork will eventually go completely off-branch since I've been cherry-picking features anyway after 4.5. Some of the core ones just don't make sense to me.

#MastoAdmin #Mastodon

Wow, there are a lot of breaking changes in the latest Mastodon nightly. I'm a bit surprised by some of the UI choices being made. I haven't been able to refactor all the code in Mastodon Bird UI yet, and I already have quite a bit of technical debt. This won't make my life any easier. I hope I get some breathing room before 4.6.0 is released.

In part due to the Twitter exodus and the platform predominantly being made up of free and open source enthusiasts. Consequentially, you'll occasionally see reports from Mastodon instances listed as @admin@instance.tld that include no context with the report or have flagged a post that we cannot act upon as per the guidelines of our instance and even sometimes their own. Such has been the case for us with Fosstodon, though their admin @fosstodon@fosstodon.org were rather chill in our communication.

I've personally found that a lot of online communities tend to have rather broad and opaque rules that are often left up to interpretation. That way, anyone can justify their actions as being in accordance with the spirit of the rule and get away with a lot of abusive stuff in the process. I suspect between that and the tendency of people to rely on moderation to curate their online experience rather than exercising their ability to mute and block may have given way to a culture of vibe-based reporting. Where anything that may not sit right with a person is free game for reporting.

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on.

The natural consequence of that is they've built themselves a spacious echo chamber consisting mostly of liberal and progressive-minded people. In part due to the Twitter exodus and the platform predominantly being made up of free and open source enthusiasts.

Our Mastodon instance burningboard.net now supports HTTP/3 (QUIC).

HTTP/3 replaces TCP with UDP as its transport protocol, offering lower latency and better performance, especially on lossy or low-bandwidth networks.

If you encounter any unexpected issues, feel free to drop me a message 🙂

An account publishing recursive quoted post. #mastoadmin and #mastoadmins, is this authorized in your instance?
