@dragfyre Hmmm, I haven't yet found a way to do this. It looks like "News" is shorthand for "trending links." I have seen a few links trend, but not often.
The whole "Explore" section is relatively new: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/17123
I work at a ccTLD (.IS), and lately we are seeing a *lot* of new accounts immediately registering multiple domains that all had been registered in the past. I suspect we're not the only ccTLD that sees this.
We know of at least two instances of this being used to take over social media accounts that had e-mails in expired domains set as backup e-mail addresses.
This seems to be organized and well-resourced.
Please double-check you don't use e-mails in any expired domains anywhere.
@pstewart @arthurdoler i like the it.
I will always retweet the Old Fashioned Hurgusburgus.
The first time I saw this I couldn't breathe.

@dragfyre @trishalynn It's good. :D
d-fens.systems has no visible public timeline, its admin follows people on organized harassment instances, and it hosts a suspicious followbot. #FediBlock
It is wild that I'm going to have spent my 20s as a tech early adopter and I'm probably going to die a bitter Luddite because tech abandoned all pretense of being a prosocial hobby and became a playground for conspicuous energy consumption, deregulated predation, and centralized corporate information dominance.
@eilatan @trishalynn Shell access, yes! Node, kind of: we can happily do it, but we're not cost-competitive compared to platforms that are optimized for it; you'd be paying us for a managed VPS.
@trishalynn @eilatan Thanks for the recommendation! I can definitely do static sites. If you want to run a Python app, though, I recommend Fly.io.
@trishalynn Reluctantly done.
Shadowrun Trilogy is on sale over at GOG. This is a steal. https://www.gog.com/en/game/shadowrun_trilogy
@jay @trishalynn Yep! We use a Merkle tree implementation for Certificate Transparency. It's clever and a great match for certain specific problems. But there are tradeoffs: complexity, and a painful amount of computation once you're at large scale.
