The Tuesday happy cloud hopes you all have a SPLENDID day 😁

#sillyScribbles #cloudCreatures

A photo of a big fluffy white cloud against a blue sky, with a wooded hillside sloping across the bottom of the frame. The cloud has a big open smiling mouth shaped hole, so I have added eyes above and upturned arms. They are a happy cloud.

Mastodonappuk down?

Can anyone confirm that the above Mastodon instance is down? I am getting Error message when I try the home page!

I have a profile on mastodon.nu
and it's experiencing outages now and then as well.

My guess is that the whole Fediverse is having an influx of new users, so it will be a bit crowded in the hallways for a while?
(I'm new to these parts of the Fediverse. At first, I considered moving to another mastodon instance, but now I think I should just keep my head cool for a bit.)

The instance admin has said there was "an issue communicating and authenticating with the database service", which caused it to go offline. I believe he is also checking joining requests now to try and weed out bots etc.
Thanks again for your reply earlier, it confirmed i wasn't 'just me'.

Can I fully block specific hash tags on Friendica?
I have blocked the hashtag "RoyalFamiliy", but see the posts without the content. I don't need to see posts that are hashtag filtered!

Thanks

Block Hash Tags?

Can I block specific hash tags on Friendica?
e.g. can I block things like # Musk or # Zuckerberg or # NFL

edit: space added between hash and words

#nfl #Musk #zuckerberg

Thanks again, it was the hashtag blocking I was after.
I do use block, but try to mute before that, then look later to see if they are still "offending", if not unmute or block if necessary.

That sounds like a decent approach. 🤗

By the way, if you found/find a way to block (not just "collapse") hashtags as well, please do tell! 😀

What an Idiot! (I am)
I've just deleted a post, here in Friendica, where I was asking for Pixelfedhelp!
I think I need to get off this box and do some light reading!

I posted this on my #Mastodon feed a short while ago

Just sent an email to the local BBC offices*, asking why they are still using X and Facebook etc. for social media.

*if I get a reply I know it will be corporate!

#BBC #SocialMedia #X #Twitter #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Threads #WhyAreYouStillUsing

I also sent a slightly altered email to both the local council and the county council
#SouthRibbleBoroughCouncil #SRBC LancashireCountyCouncil

This is a copy of the email


Hi,
In light of the recent outbursts by the owner of X, twitter as used to be, asking if the United Kingdom should be liberated, then his rants against Ministers of His Majesty's Government and his use of what is known as the Nazi or Roman salute at Donald Trump's inauguration, should you still be using his 'services' as he becomes more and more blatantly fascist in his views? Similarly, should you still be using Meta groups social media, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads, In light of their owner rolling back rules around hate speech and abuse.

Thank you for reading
Looking forward to you response.

Giving Friendica another go, so here's a bit of an introl!

I was born in a city in Yorkshire, known by the name of the river that runs through it!
Not sure how long I lived there because (one of) my parents became homesick and the family returned to the Red Rose side o f the Pennines - Preston in Lancashire, so my first memories are of growing up in a new council house during the '50s. I have lived in and around Preston ever since.
Got married in the mid '70's and she has put up with me to this day.
After secondary school I had a few jobs then worked for a major employer in the Preston area for almost 40 years before taking early retirement. Have now been retired over 12 years.
I like reading, mostly scifi, listen to various genres of music (eclectic mix), enjoy walking in the local countryside.
