The Postmark MCP server (used to send and track emails through Postmark API) introduced a suspicious behavior in version 1.0.16.

The attacker cloned the legitimate Postmark MCP code and […]

Yes it’s true, AltStore is joining the Fediverse 🥳

Developers can now federate apps, updates, and news alerts to the open social web via our custom Mastodon server, and all likes, boosts, and comments will appear natively in AltStore.

We plan to release this officially soon — but you can check […]

@ricci Interesting indeed

Screenshot of moderation-explorer.online showing two panels. The upper panel titled “You have 1,266 followers on 394 servers” lists the top ten servers by follower count: mastodon.social 232 (18.3 %), en.osm.town 92 (7.3 %), mastodon-belgium.be 44 (3.5 %), mastodon.online 37 (2.9 %), mstdn.social 34 (2.7 %), fosstodon.org 31 (2.4 %), chaos.social 27 (2.1 %), tech.lgbt 26 (2.1 %), hachyderm.io 20 (1.6 %), mas.to 20 (1.6 %). To its right, text explains that when the user publishes a post, their server sends it to follower servers, where moderators may filter, hide, or block the post or block the account or server, making posts shared with many followers on one server more likely to be checked. The lower panel titled “Those You Follow And Their Servers” shows “You follow 2,344 accounts on 603 servers” with a table listing mastodon.social 364 (15.5 %), en.osm.town 169 (7.2 %), fosstodon.org 98 (4.2 %), mastodon-belgium.be 65 (2.8 %), mastodon.online 59 (2.5 %), chaos.social 59 (2.5 %), mstdn.social 52 (2.2 %), hachyderm.io 44 (1.9 %), floss.social 34 (1.5 %), tech.lgbt 33 (1.4 %). To its right, text explains that posts from followed accounts come from those accounts’ servers, which can block the user’s account or servers, remove followed accounts, or delete their posts if they break community guidelines.

On the Fediverse, the posts on your feed are moderated by dozens or even hundreds of different servers.

Ever wonder how that works out for your personal feed? Find out with https://moderation-explorer.online/

A screenshot of a website with the title "Who Moderates My Posts and Timeline?" It has a text box to enter your handle and a button that says "Find Out!"

The full text is available via the link in the post.

This is remarkable, if the title is a bit misleading. It's about way, way more than venture capital fascists and their projects.

Not sure who's behind it, but it's worth at least a look. Valuable resource...

Petaluma Pride @petalumapride.org · 3d

What a wonderful way to kick off a month of El Día de los Muertos celebrations! Food, music, culture, art, and community — all things we love.

We look forward to next year, and we hope folks who stopped by our booth are able to join us this upcoming Saturday at the 2025 Petaluma Pride Festival!

A photo of Robin, Dora, and Oliver in the Petaluma Pride booth, which is decorated colorfully and accented with some El Día de los Muertos art, on a sunny autumn day.

A photo looking out over the lawn lined with booths of community organizations, framed by tall verdant trees, with the stunning architecture of the St. Vincent Rectory rising in the background.
