Lol, people on Meta's platforms are like, "There are no alternatives, let's try MySpace next!"

I'm done.

Today I feel like shit. Both physically and mentally.

Because feeds are language-agnostic unless global language filtering is set, I have added a language setting specifically for the "For you" feed. I enjoy getting replies and reading in other languages, but for the main feed I want to keep two of my most native languages.

The newest "For you" feed is available on our instance only (and some rare ones who have chosen to implement this draft to their forks). Draft against main branch: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mastodon/pull/4#issuecomment-5085200640

I still remember that 25 years ago, my nickname was rolle^, and I joined the linux.fi channel but was immediately kicked out. The reason was: "Take your hat off when you enter the house."

:skull360: We've upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.7.0-alpha.2+mementomods-2026-07-27. A small one this time, mostly a security update, with 6 new commits from upstream since yesterday's build (mementomods-2026-07-26).

Upstream released 4.6.4 with three advisories, and those fixes are now in the nightly line we run:

Security:
- Two permission enforcement fixes, where some admin statistics and retention endpoints could be reached without the right role https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-7jvv-fhmg-wpfw and https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-hx34-2pfw-2qfj
- An SSRF protection bypass through IPv4 compatible IPv6 addresses, which could be used to make the server fetch addresses it should refuse https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-vwhj-3g83-v276

Fixes & improvements:
- Polls without an expiration date can be voted in again https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/39949
- Tighter enforcement of the collection item limit https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/39969

As always, if you notice anything unusual or buggy, please reach out to me or any of the admins. Enjoy your time here, and feel free to message me with any questions or thoughts. :bunhdheart:

If anything feels off, please let us know!

Elon Musk says X’s codebase will be made open source. "Once we have completed our review for security vulnerabilities, we will make the entire codebase of 𝕏 open source, with no exceptions."

This is not the first time Musk has tried to roleplay as an open source advocate. I do not trust him one bit. What is there to gain and why on earth would he do that? I would be glad if he does, I am curious to know how they have weighted their algorithms and messed up their features.

I often think about how fun it is to run your own Twitter here in the fediverse. It is not rocket science. In retrospect, it feels weird that so many people rely on X... sorry, I mean, xAI's data harvesting dirt pool and that diaper baby Elon's 4chan-sewer-kind-of plaything.
