Mastodon 5.0 is looking like quite a step change. Combined with the back-end changes in 4.7, it looks like Team Mastodon are getting ready to implement the W3C SocialCG’s work on E2EE private messages. Which is exciting.

“.. users on independent servers running on Mastodon 5.0 will see their server’s name (and optional icon) displayed more prominently, with a small ‘Powered by Mastodon’ indicator …”
@lightweight snce NZOSS sadly appears to be a dodo, I don’t know how much sense it makes to highlight its name and logo. Maybe it’s time to stand up a new Mastodon server under iridescent.nz, give everyone a few months to migrate over, then make the nzoss.nz server read-only?
