@ionizedgirl Harassment is a complex multi-faceted issue that we're addressing on multiple ends, but filtering notifications from specific sources is something that's been live for a couple months on mastodon.social and in the nightlies.

Please remember that Mastodon doesn't have a marketing team or budget. Whatever media coverage Mastodon gets is from inbound interest from journalists. The growth of the platform has been predominantly through word of mouth. If you want the fediverse to grow, tell your friends.

@healyn I have a feeling I have seen this one before.

@samhenrigold Take it back

@georgetakei A bank drive-through? What?

Waiting for a train.

@ernie Just let them follow you through the bridge.

@TechConnectify @ernie I'd love you to see the improvements we made in Mastodon after our chat, like notification filtering and notification grouping. Unfortunately, mas.to looks to be waiting for the stable 4.3 release before updating, so it'll probably be a week or two more.

@ernie Minor gripe about that thread, he says it's been 11 months since the last Mastodon release, but we've been continously updating mastodon.social with improvements over that time, and making them available as nightlies.

@danvolchek @moritzdietz I can only say soon. The shipping and customs is completely out of my control. The US shipment has at least reached the US, I've been told the EU one has been delayed by a few weeks.

@nix That seems like a misunderstanding of the infrastructure. Each fediverse server (at least ones powered by Mastodon) caches a copy of the media files to serve to their own users. The increase on bandwidth for the origin server is minimal, comparatively, since there's at most 20k servers, instead of millions of people.

Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days.

Going to be watching the new episode of #BloodOnTheClocktower from #NoRollsBarred ☺️

@NOTxNSANE Very strong last 4 tracks. The ones they released as singles are the ones I like the least.

I have been asked this, and yes, sign-ups and overall traffic from #Brazil are picking up today, following the #X ban. Bem-vindos ao Mastodon!

New #Leprous album, Melodies of Atonement, is out today!

@KevinMarks @evan It was a fun name to say
