We blocked KF nearly 2 years ago. This was a permanent action.

#FreeRadical blog: "Not accepting Tutanota email for accounts"I’ve blocked signing up for FRZ accounts with Tutanota email addresses. The service itself is fine, but it seems to be aggressive about deleting unused addresses. As a practical matter, this has led to a lot bouncing notifications, users getting locked out of their accounts when they can’t [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/not-accepting-tutanota-email-for-accounts/(posted at Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:39:09 -0700)

#FreeRadical blog: "Skip 'Mastodon for iPhone'"Sometimes a creator loses touch with how people use their creation. I worry that Eugen Rochko has found himself in a bubble and doesn’t understand why the rest of us like Mastodon. Eugen and friends released the new official Mastodon for iPhone app, and users noticed that it doesn’t show local [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/skip-mastodon-for-iphone/(posted at Sun, 01 Aug 2021 17:42:49 -0700)

#FreeRadical blog: "Five Wonderful Years!"Several years ago, I heard about GNU social. That sounded like an interesting change from the centralized giants like Facebook and Twitter, so I installed it on a spare server. It was… interesting: not great, not terrible. Shortly after, I started hearing about this Mastodon thing, which was [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/happy-fifth-anniversary/(posted at Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:49:42 +0000)

#FreeRadical blog: "Surviving and thriving through the 2022-11-05 meltdown"Background After Elon Musk bought Twitter and started making a bizarre series of decisions about how to run it, people started logging into Mastodon to see what it’s all about. Lots of them. So, so many of them. In real numbers, Free Radical grew by 20% in the last week. Which is awesome, [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/surviving-thriving-through-2022-11-05-meltdown/(posted at Sun, 06 Nov 2022 14:57:29 +0000)

#FreeRadical blog: "Goodbye, S3"I configured Free Radical to use S3 to serve media assets, like images and videos, almost immediately after launching it. There are compelling reasons to use something like S3 instead of serving those files directly from the Mastodon server, such as freeing that server from getting clogged [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/goodbye-s3/(posted at Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:41:00 +0000)

#FreeRadical blog: "Mastodon 4.2's content indexing gets it right"Mastodon 4.2.0 added per-user opt-in search indexing. I love this so much. People here have asked me to enable Elasticsearch on FRZ dozens of times. Of course users want to find toots easily without scrolling through hundreds of them!

#FreeRadical blog: "FRZ will ignore the Online Safety Bill"The UK just passed a stupid Online Safety Bill. As a point of fact, Free Radical is not subject to the UK’s laws. As a point of policy, I couldn’t care less about their goofy regulations. It might as well not exist as far as I’m concerned. In summary, Free Radical has no obligation to, and [...]https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/frz-will-ignore-online-safety-bill/(posted at Thu, 26 Oct 2023 20:57:34 -0700)
