RE: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/117586194168536723 Mastodon Canada just committed to the Digital Platform of Rights and Freedoms with the following: "Mastodon Canada recognizes the importance of Data Sovereignty and, with this hosting, keeps our community's data on servers in Edmonton, Alberta, that we can physically touch. We are committed to the Mastodon Covenant and provide safeguards that respect the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are transparent with moderation and administration decisions and remain responsive to cybersecurity events. We are steadfast in our commitment to working with Project Arachnid in combating CSAM on the fediverse. Our team actively seeks out equity-seeking members to join our moderation and oversight team and looks forward to continuing to build upon this." I'm sure it'll be published shortly here: https://respectfulplatforms.org/ #mstdnca #fediverse #mastoadmin #mastodon

Not sure what took out the instance for a few minutes there, power is still on, but maybe there was something upstream with Telus that was hit. Quite the storm tonight. Hope everyone that was out at events and festivals found shelter before it blew in! #mstdnca #yeg #yegwx #abstorm

It's Canada Day. :canada: Today is a day of unity, a day of togetherness, and a day to acknowlege the sacrifies those that came before us to make our nation as great as it is. Take in those fireworks. Hug your loved ones, and appreciate what we have because of what has been given. Happy Canada Day, Mastodonuts. Make friends. Create community. Go spend time off of social media. Meet your neighbours, have a ton of fun. Take today off of social media and find connection. Love each other. #canada #socialmedia #mstdnca

Our MCAT tool, the Mastodon Canada Administration Tool, enables all of our administrators to have deep, audited interactions with our infrastructure. It was built in-house and is a critical component to keep our instance current. #mstdnca #MastoAdmin #SysAdmin

I just made a one-time donation of $120 — the equivalent of $10/month — to #mstdnca. It's the third year I’ve done it, so at this point I think that @chad@mstdn.ca knows he can count on me. If an alternative to corporate surveillance platforms is going to thrive, it's up to us as participants/members of our community to make sure that it's sustainable. Mastodon is the best alternative for me, and #mstdnca is the community that I’ve been a part of for over three years now. Whatever server/instance you’re on, please consider providing financial support to that instance. (Edited for clarity to add those last three words!) And please consider sharing your knowledge/expertise with your admins to help make your server/instance work. The more capacity and resilience a community has, the better! https://mstdn.ca/@chad/115990168925809640

Hey Canadian Mastodonauts - here's where we're at. We had some instability the last few days, and it's because the PostgreSQL server (the long term memory for our community) needed more resources. Giving it more resources means we spend more money, so we went from USD$240 to USD$431/mo. This is, of course, unsustainable. We're working hard to get this database moved in-house, so we can eliminate this cost, but we need to purchase an SSD and supporting hardware to do it. We were grateful to receive a $250 donation from a community member. This would just about cover a 1TB NVMe drive, but we'd really like to put a 2TB drive in there to shut this database up for years to come. At the moment, we have two months of reserves, and we should have three, so we're about $ 1,250 short of our goal. If you can contribute, I'd be very grateful.

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations. Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start. 1/6
