I'm hoping to have some time this week to get our custom tweaks to Mastodon applied to the new 4.6 release over the course of this week with the goal of hopefully getting it deployed to the instances over the weekend. 

I'm fortunately pretty busy with project work (Which is what pays my bills!) so time is a bit of a premium for me right now hence the delay of it being this weekend that I will hopefully be able to apply the updates themselves.

We're now actively seeing attrition on people contributing to the ActivityPub Trust & Safety taskforce because we've failed to secure funding to pay people to do the required work, which is to the detriment of the entire fediverse.

It is not pretty or headline catching work, but it is necessary work that underpins the very social fabric of the fediverse.

It's now been 205 days since I submitted an application with @nlnet to try to secure funding for this work. That's almost 7 months.

The only update I've received to date was on 9th March 2026 that simply stated "your project "ActivityPub Trust & Safety Taskforce" (2025-12-371) has been selected to enter the second round of the December 2025 call"

The email did include "Note that proposals are reviewed with regards to urgency, relevance and value for money.", so my only logical conclusion is that NLNet does not see trust & safety work as urgently needed, relevant or value for money 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe there's another funding organisation that wants to fund the taskforce? So far I haven't seen an appropriate fund.

I'm appalled to see the European Commission apparently embracing closed source, commercial, ID and age verification mandatory, social media today - in the very face of the technology sovereignty and online freedoms debates.

I think they've just thrown away the greatest opportunity to be the champion of all things open and collaborative, and to live and demonstrate their own values. Incredibly disappointed.

In the latest Mastodon update, collections were introduced, but at the moment there’s not a way to discover them easily. 

I’d like to recommend posting an announcement for each of your collections with a specific hashtag for now. That way you can follow the hashtag and see them all.

I wanna find ‘em!

(Just thinking out loud here, please no one be dramatic) Is it still worth it for me to keep maintaining Tangerine UI?

I had a ton of fun creating the theme and evolving it. But now that it's come to a point I had considered finished, it's genuinely depressing to spend many hours on it every time there's a new Mastodon release, all just to un-break it and bring it up to speed. No fun involved 😅 (and no money either)

I think the team at Mastodon did a fantastic job creating a future-proof token system for building custom themes that don't break as easily with every update. But in the case of Tangerine UI, a pre-existing theme, adopting it now requires rewriting many lines of CSS to ensure it becomes more future-proof (and that also involves hours spent on testing/tweaking to make sure every UI component looks good). I'm just not sure I have it in me to work on this rewrite now.

#Mastodon 4.6 is here! It's been a long time in the works, but it's finally ready. In this release, we're introducing Collections—a way to share curated collections of profiles to help old and new users discover more of the #Fediverse. We're also updating the look of profiles, alongside many quality of life and accessibility improvements. Read more here:

Simon Wood makes cute videos about model railways running through real life gardens. You can follow at:

➡️ @simonwood 

Don't worry if the account looks blank to you, that just means no one from your server follows it yet. Follow the account and its videos will start showing up on your server too.

If your server is on v4.6, try and test Collections on #PhanpySocialDev (https://dev.phanpy.social/).

There's still a few small bugs that I'm aware of and probably missed, and need to test more on cross-instance use-cases 🙏

Anyway, enough of me moaning about traffic (I could do that all day!) let's focus on the positives instead... this fedi thing has all the best people on it!

FWIW hosting GoToSocial has been pretty easy so far. The docs are top notch.

https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.21.2/

I think this would be a great choice if you wanted to host yourself and maybe a few friends. It can run on a potato and does exactly what I want social media to do and little else. Shared blocklists are awesome.

@EUCommission It's kind of crazy that Mastodon never got this kind of promotion and endorsement, unlike this 4 month old platform that came out of nowhere.

Proud Dad moment:

Yesterday at work I needed to know our home static IP address, so I sent a message to my 15-yo asking him to send it to me.

He asked if I’d been hacked, and requested a FaceTime chat before agreeing to send me the IP.

Happy to see my tax money well-spent 😊🥳

Apparently accessibility fixes in Mastodon were largely sponsored by the Dutch government. Public money funding public code benefitting us all, regardless of where you live or your nationality. Awesome!

Almost forgot...well done & congrats on release 4.6 @Mastodon people & floss contributors 🎂🫶 🎉
