And for those who are still on the 3.3.x branch, v3.3.2 is out with the same fixes.
Happy to report that the European Commission's Open Source Programme Office decided to fund a bug bounty program for #Mastodon!
#Gitea is joining the fediverse 🎉 We can now announce we've been accepted into the #NLnet funding round that we applied to. https://nlnet.nl/project/Gitea/
Thank you to @NGIZero @dachary @forgefriends and so many others for getting us to this point.
We are very much looking forward to many wonderful things that federation within forges can support.
Hey, #fediverse! I'm doing some research on the uses of Federated software by non-governmental organizations. I'm curious to see if NGOs use federated tools (especially Mastodon, but any fedi tools) to organize outside of corporate systems (e.g., Google, FB).
If you have tips, please send them my way! DMs are fine, and I will not publish names outside this space without consent.
Boosts appreciatd.

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.
Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.
Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

Apple’s regressive stance on sexual content being available on its largest platform is verging on a full on moral panic and it’s really gross. Entire businesses and communities have been crushed by it, and it often hurts queer and trans communities most.
