I had been thinking about the filtering part of #fcli, my #Mastodon to #email bridge as 'similar to #procmail', but today I realised that if I add custom headers to the email messages it produces I can just use procmail itself. By interfacing #Fediverse ideas with email standards I seem to be needing less and less custom code to get a setup which works for me, and making more and more use of decades old open source software, which is actually a pretty great outcome.

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on. This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves.So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?Tags: #FediAdmin, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #Moderation, #Moderation, #Moderators, #FediMods, #MastoMods, #TrustAndSafety, #SocialMedia, #Sociology, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse, #Politics, #Fediblock, #Blocklist.

If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

#Ireland becomes the first country to implement a secure basic income for all #artists and #musicians. When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows. #Musichttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/10/ireland-basic-income-for-the-arts-scheme-becomes-permanent

I support Mastodon not because it's perfect, but because it has the right to exist. The Fediverse represents something we almost lost: the idea that social networking can be a protocol, not a product.We've been conditioned to think that "social media" means a single company's timeline, moderated by their trust and safety team, monetized by their ad algorithms. Mastodon breaks that paradigm. It's messy, it's fragmented, it's harder to search—but it's ours.#fediverse
