alrighty i'm gonna suspend brighteon.social because among other things, their TOS uses the standard of "deserves it" for whether violent and abusive language and posts are ok (cw screenshot from TOS that describes graphic violence)
In addition to some overdue domain blocks, the Code of Conduct at https://dads.cool/about/more has been updated with the following changes:
· a table of commonly-used CWs if you're new to Mastodon
· a statement explaining that multi-user instances without codes of conduct (or with codes of conduct that do not explicitly forbid harassment) will be suspended
· a link to the dads.cool github page where changes to the code can be tracked
Updating to hometown 1.0.4+3.1.4 momentarily, expect only a couple minutes of downtime.
Fixes include:
-"Not Available" image attachments will now reattempt to download (a mastodon bug fixed in 3.1.4)
-pinned local-only posts now stay local-only (thanks @darius!)
-in apps, replies to local posts will stay local, and unique posts will be local-only if that's what you have as default in the web UI (see details in screenshot)
Gonna block qoto.org on this instance later this morning when I’m at my desk.
Their forked version of mastodon implements a feature that allows accounts on their instance to follow locked accounts—even if you reject a follow request from a qoto user, they can see all your public-level posts on their home timeline.
This is a breach of trust to users of other instances and provides a vector for stalking and harassment, as users may not know who is following them.
Thinking about adding an FAQ to dads.cool’s about page, including the obvious “Why not regular mastodon?” and “why dads and just not parents?” #dadmin
