I was going to announce it a bit later and more properly, but Mastodon received a $70k grant from Samsung NEXT through OpenCollective. I intend to make it available to those who contribute to the project, and have already notified some of the most regular contributors. The way OpenCollective works is that anyone can submit an expense and all transactions are listed transparently. It also holds the money.
As for myself, I intend to continue using Patreon for my own wage/costs.

@gamehawk You can. Focus the column and use arrow keys (or j/k) or page up/page down. Click on "hotkeys" in the footer to find out more

If I want to install a Matrix server for private use, and do not need it to talk to other Matrix servers, does anyone know if changing the hostname later is okay?

Mastodon has crumbs - and many blame the people who feed pigeons

@nuttgodd Let's be honest the headline "Mastodon is crumbling - and many blame the developer" is quite difficult not to take personally.
Eugen
@nuttgodd So that awful title was decided even before I was asked for comments?
Eugen
@abby Yes. It's probably safe to jump from 2.0 to rc3 at this point, I think upgrade paths have been mostly smoothed out.
Eugen
Alright, sorry for the double whammy. #Mastodon v2.7.0rc3
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0rc3
Identical to rc2 except for one bug fix, and since they are so close together, I just moved the release notes from rc2 to rc3.
Eugen
Okay, so I almost immediately got a bug report and have a fix for it. Anything else before I bump it to rc3?
Eugen
@Sir_Boops Okay, I found it in my own logs, thanks for letting me know
Eugen
@Sir_Boops What error?

@calisti I was literally interviewed for the article by the person who wrote it

What bothers me is how bad the headline is. Most people who come across an article only read the headline. Don't think it will do the fediverse any good.
