💡 Unlike other #Fediverse servers, we didn't need to "wait and see" before preventing #Meta from using our community's content to train their #LLMs. When corporations show you who they are, believe them.

Our 1000-active-user cap for FLOSS.social is still in effect, and will soon again be reached as we welcome a new wave of community members.

This number is determined as the mean (average) between the "active in last month" and "six months" from the data at: https://floss.social/nodeinfo/2.0

Small servers make for good communities and good federation.

Our #FediPact actions timeline:

June 2023: Preemptively blocked federation with #Meta #Facebook and #Threads. We also didn't attend any secret meetings with them or sign their NDAs.

July 2023: Blocked their IP networks from accessing our instance.

💡 Because protecting human rights shouldn't ever be something up for a vote.

The old “Block notifications from non-followers”, “Block notifications from people you don't follow” and “Block direct messages from people you don't follow” notification settings have been replaced by a new set of settings found directly in the notification column.

You can now separately filter or drop notifications from people you don't follow, people who don't follow you, accounts created within the past 30 days, as well as unsolicited private mentions, & accounts limited by the moderation.
