Here it is! Our metalhead.club public advert in Wacken!

Thank you very much @MountainWizard for checking it out!

If you're in Wacken today or in the next few days: Find our advert at Hauptstraße 33 and maybe take a selfie? 😉

(are we the first Mastodon instance that has publicly deployed an advert?)

Too bad the frame I ordered turned out to be crap. The uneven wall isn’t helping.

If you use #genAI you can no longer claim to "care about quality". That is just a contradiction. You actions are saying loudly that you do in fact not give a shit about anything of the sort.

Went on a “walk” today. Max loves his walks so much that he comes running when I hold up his harness and leash and purrs while I put it on. PSA: keep your cats inside when unsupervised!! #cats #catsofmastodon #lynxpointsiamese

Please report any account that claims that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it. It is a scam. Don't click the links. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain.

The second #Plushtodon prototype has arrived. They should be ready before December this year. I hope you're looking forward!

And now, an executive order that calls for the involuntary institutionalization of the homeless and mentally ill without due process or clear release criteria. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/ending-crime-and-disorder-on-americas-streets/

President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will recognize Palestine as a state. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250724-french-president-macron-says-france-will-recognize-palestine-as-a-state-in-september

Twice in the past week, I’ve received an edit notification about a post I’d previously boosted where the edit corrected bad or incomplete information. In both cases, I boosted the correction.

I’ve long wished for social media misinformation policy to be “If you saw the bad info, you see the correction.” Mastodon comes closer to that than anything I’ve previously encountered.

There’s been a lot of theoretical hand-wringing about allowing edits on social media. In practice, this aspect at least seems like a huge success.

I made a new mouth mechanism. I'm calling it Selectramatronics.
