I would like to give a big shout out to all of the Admins of their respective instances'.
It goes without saying but if it wasn't for your 'Admins' there wouldn't be any mastodon really in my opinion.
So go support them and give the respect they deserve.

Just a few admins and or owners:
Las gestern irgendwo die scherzhafte Frage, wer in der Zeit von #Wacken eigentlich die #ITSysteme betreut? Und so länger darüber nachgedacht kann man das mit der Frage beantworten: Wist ihr sonst, wo eure #Admins sind und was sie so tun? 
Oh, mal was anderes.
Was ist eigentlich mit solchen Listen? Interessiert das die #Admins von #Bluesky?
Von wegen #Netiquette....hm?
Weiß einer was?
“In my 35-year association with the University – more than half of those as a staff member – I have not seen such a lack of vision, such a vacuum of ideas, such general disorganisation, nor such cavalier decision-making about institutions and programs built up through hard work over decades. The end, I am afraid, will be an ugly one.” (Frank Bongiorno - ANU)
There is nothing new to the corporatisation of #TertiaryEducation except for the extent of destruction it has wrought in what should be an environment of excellence in pedagogy and research. The sector has faced many perils ever since its religious beginnings in the Middle Ages and yet managed to survive and even thrived on occasions. But the debunked neoliberal thinking of today, along with its market-driven imperative in an age of run-away corporate capitalism might drive our universities back to the brink of collapse in a new kind of politically manufactured dark ages (if the US is any guide to our immediate future).
I truly hope that saner minds will prevail in Aus and that we may eventually (though not too far in the future) pull back from the dark.
Not sure what I’m trying to say here… I fear we are getting more illiterate by the day… more receptive to propaganda… reverting back to a society fetttered by their lack of education… (not in a happy place right now, thinking about how we are failing on so many levels with higher education being the only way out of this mess)
Read more of Bongiorno’s rebuttal of the ANU #BeanCounters’ proposal to compensate for their past decision which resulted in the financial mess they are asking #academia (staff and students alike) to pay for. The #Chancellery and #Admins ought to be subjected to similar cuts as the fairest of ill-advised solutions. Fairer would be to sack those people who got ANU in this mess in the first place, wherever these people hide.
(That was a rant!)
Most probably SPAM! Do not click on that link! ... #mastodon #fediverse #admins
RE: https://troet.cafe/users/andreas_heitmann/statuses/114919498731730285
This is the second time this account (or a similar one, because I blocked the first) comes up with this message of "verification" with a link stating he would be official.
I am concerned ...
Please do say or write some nice things to your administrators, as today it's System Administrator Appreciation Day
Most of the time, you won't notice, that there is somebody working very hard so that you don't notice.
#KI randaliert im Netz 
– #Admins halten dagegen 
Meine @campact -Kolumne aus Mai ist heute tagesaktuell dabei!
> Herzlichen Dank an alle Admins, die unermüdlich dafür kämpfen, uns Nutzende und den Planeten vor der Gier von KI zu schützen. Ich hoffe, dieser Text ist ein Beitrag für mehr Verständnis zu diesem Thema.

Heads up #Sharkey #admins when #upgrading...
If you have a lot of #data in your #instance #database, running pnpm run migrate might fail because one or more of the ALTER TABLE... statements might actually timeout on your #PostgreSQL server!
To fix this, attach yourself to your sharkey database and enter the following...
Rant_ifa 
ALTER DATABASE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min';
ALTER ROLE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min';pnpm run migrate command again.Wer sich über die vielen tollen Informationsangebote im Internet freut, sollte wissen:
#KI randaliert im Netz – #Admins halten dagegen, damit wir Menschen ungestört surfen können.
Lest mal, wie Admins ihre absolut frustrierende aber unsichtbare Abwehrarbeit gegen KI beschreiben – im Blog von @campact: https://blog.campact.de/2025/05/ki-randaliert-im-netz-admins-halten-dagegen/
Nicht vergessen: 25. Juli ist #SysAdminDay
Ich freue mich heute, den #ESC hier auf/bei/mit #mastodon zu erleben.
Ein großes Dankeschön an die #Admins der vielen kleinen und großen Instanzen, die das möglich machen.

Dear community,
my friend is thinking about joining Mastodon and/or the fediverse. Specifically, she is looking for the #spanish speaking #archeology community!
As we all know it is notoriously difficult to find a server that matches our preferences (language, region, interests, moderation policies...)
Aggregators like www.joinmastodon.org or #fedigarden rely on server #admins to register their instances (*cough I would not have found fedihum there)
edit: thank you! You helped a lot!
Hi #Admins 
,
Can you give me quotes that explain your fight against #AIScraping? I'm looking for (verbal) images, metaphors, comparisons, etc. that explain to non-techies what's going on. (efforts, goals, resources...)
I intend to publish your quotes in a text on @campact 's blog¹ (DE, German NGO).
The quotes should make your work
visible in a generally understandable way
Liebe #Admins ,
für meine @campact -Kolumne¹ suche ich #Techies, die der Welt da draußen den fight #Admins vs. #KIScraping erklären. Mit welchen Bildern, Metaphern, Vergleichen beschreibt ihr, was da abgeht? (Zeitaufwand, Sinn, Ressourcen, Tools…)
Die Zitate sollen allgemeinverständlich eure Arbeit sichtbar machen.
(namentlich, pseudoym, anonym → gern angeben)
Many of you might be unaware that Mastodon has zero proactive moderation tools, and only prods #admins to respond to annoyances after they happen. Seen a spam 1000 times? Doesn’t matter! You’re going to see it 1,001 because you can’t block it in advance! Want to ignore Fediverse Chick? Too bad! Heaven forbid we match regexps in posts or usernames. Or have built in shared blocklists. Or, well… anything.
That’s how we end up with bizarro stuff like https://github.com/freeradical-dot-zone/spamhammer. We’re on our own.
Je crois que je viens de découvrir un faux compte ( profile pic de https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ ) qui poste des liens vers des sites de cagnottes, où les photos de cagnottes ressemblent elles aussi à des images de https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ …
Le compte a été créé il y a environ un an, possède une semi-activité ( quelques messages tous les deux mois, sans vraiment de cohérence entre eux ), et s'est réveillé.
Chers autres #admins d'instance #Mastodon, vous avez déjà vu ça ? (détails en PM sur demande)
Chose rigolote : le logiciel qui gère la cagnotte est le même dans les deux cas, https://www.iraiser.com/fr/ …
