    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 w…

    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 …

    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 c…

    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 v…

    libh2o is a library, h2o is a full fledged webserver using libh2o. They are both made by the same people and released together. Having all the core features in a library allow any …

    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 import…
