Currently, #AllThingsTech requires about $120 a month in operational costs. That covers the server itself for the Mastodon instance and the server(s) for the website, wiki and other things.
Again, any little bit helps and is hugely appreciated more than we can put into words.
Via the link below, you can do a one-time donation or a monthly subscription. Both are equally as appreciated!

This is just "normal".
Use an ad-blocker, folks.

this is not ‘just like the flu’…

So to recap: Someone hijacked my digital identity by creating a #Mastodon bridge account and is currently spamming my posts.
Because it's not pulling normally from my RSS feed, obviously. Something else is going on.
So for all intents and purposes, whatever this person does, it's me who enjoys the consequences.
Amazing. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. 10/10 stars. No notes. 😅

If you go to the account, you'll notice that this specific post has a different time stamp that the others. I think that's because they never delete that post so it doesn't trigger another publishing so it doesn't tag me again.
Because when you look at my bridge "profile" you'll see that they posted ALL my posts AGAIN just an hour ago. Except, of course that one post that tagged me.

I know this fake account exists, because the person tagged me in one of the posts. At first I thought they did it to taunt me. Now I'm not so sure.
The post this person tagged me in doesn't have my handle anywhere in the post. I was curious how they did that.
Turns out, my hijacked blog posts are in some technical way mastodon posts, not just links. It just so happens I included my mastodon handle at the bottom of this particular post and it tagged me when this person published it

Someone set up a bridge account for my blog and has been spamming links on #Mastodon of all my posts, every couple of hours or so since yesterday.
Of course, this gives server admins a big incentive to block my domain. The way the bridge account is set up, the line between it and my domain is blurred.
Fake Account: @fromjason.xyz@web.bridge.cy
Edited: removed "users"

I'm very excited to announce the first column of my "Decay Theory" series for Atlas Obscura. This one's about the death of the suburban American shopping mall. It's easy to write off the closure of malls as the result of online shopping - but their fate was likely sealed years before Amazon became the brick and mortar shredding juggernaut it is today. Here's the link! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-life-and-death-of-the-suburban-american-mall

I’ve been “Image-Quote-Posting” for many months. You know how many complaints I’ve heard about it? Not even one. Why? Because quoted posts in any form make it so much easer to consume a referral to something. Having to visit a link or thread to get the gist of a reference is just inefficient and silly. Resistance to QPs was always contrived for a few reasons, none of them good ones. It was a bad decision that hurt the fediverse, imo.

Today, I am excited to reveal that my macOS Mastodon client is called Oliphaunt and here is the public TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/QLqIRNwe
Please remember that it is a beta, so it is a work-in-progress and expect some bugs here and there. Some features are not fully implemented and I am aware of some of them and probably forgot others. 🤭
I would really appreciate your feedback. Please share your feedback on GitHub, https://github.com/anosidium/Oliphaunt-Feedback-And-Support
