For Mastodon, each mobile app developer needs to have a "webpush relay server" to receive Mastodon's webpush notifications and transmit them to the platform's push service. For Android, Mastodon recently added support fo

The content warning styling may be reverted (its already done in `main`), and we are not aware of any performance issues with 4.3, it's in fact the opposite from all the feedback we got. I am really curious of what is happening here an

Our operating structure is still the Germany-based Mastodon gGmbH. The new US non-profit is here to facilitate fundraising in the US and promote Mastodon there (plus maybe one day pay developers directly, if we hire in the US).

We have been a non-profit since Mastodon gGmbH has been founded and our biggest issue is our lack of funding to hire more people full-time, not politics or admin overhead. We do not expect this to change anytime soon.

We (the Mastodon non-profit) do not offer support contracts at the moment, but this is a good idea, thanks :) But we indeed have sponsorships open, and they really have impact. Having full-time people working on the project is very impactfu

From the information I gathered, this is an incident in the GlobalSwitch datacenter in Paris. The cooling system leaked, and this started a fire in an electrical room. The big issue here is that one Datacenter failure brought the whole regi

This is why we are building Notos[1], most of the photo sharing websites evolved in social networks (or died). We chose to not make our user's album public by default, where most competitors are doing so and benefit from the SEO involv

You can have a try at https://www.notos.co/ for the privacy-minded sharing part. This is my main focus for the product. No mobile app (yet) or sync as backups and sharing require very different products and my focus is on t

This is quite big for businesses in the EU. You used to require external tools to emit invoices & handle VAT, now everything should be doable from Stripe, with no fees. I had a look at the API and it seems you still need to assign the c

Thanks! I plan to add tracks to the maps feature. I only added maps recently and this is the next logical step. I did not know about OwnTracks but I definitely plan to allow importing external GPS data, in addition to EXIF GPS data. For the

Yes this could work, and even if the API terms do not allow it (ie Google Photos API do not allow you to download the pictures for storage) you can use the Data Export feature that most websites have and use this export to upload back your

I would love to do it, but unfortunately most APIs forbid imports and only allow you to store pictures for caching purposes (Flickr [1], Google Photos [2]) and have restrictions / heavy fees for commercial usage. Dropbox import is plan

When you look at the comments on Reddit, you can see that unfortunately it does not make sense for many people who put free as their first priority, versus privacy/sustainability/data concerns. Very brave for Flickr to make this m

This can happen with any provider, either due to policy, human error, malicious actor, ... The correct answer here is to use multiple providers and establish proper relationship with them.

5% of your worldwide revenue (not benefits) for lack on compliance on one issue? With others pending? I do think this is not something you can ignore very long.

This is the initial fine. Now they have 90 days to comply, otherwise they will get penalties (up to 5% worldwide turnover of Alphabet) until they do. From the link: > Google must now bring the conduct effectively to an end within 90 days
