       Nice to see a Mastodon shout-out on The Daily Show last night, thanks to @eff Executive Director Cindy Cohn! It's a longer segment, with some interesting nuance around social media and censorship later in the conversation.(disclosure: I am an EFF Member / sustaining donor)YouTube link (I don't think there's a Peertube version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo

       mastodon.social is currently undergoing a major Denial of Service (DDOS) incident. The team is working on this as a matter of priority. Thank you for your patience!#Mastodon #Mastoadmin https://status.mastodon.social/cmo730jrm05ailojla22drifc

       ... and nearly as soon as I posted that, m.s was back online / attack mitigated - monitoring, some ongoing instability is a possibility.

       Some personal news... after an amazing 3 years working with the Mastodon team, first in developer relations and then as communications lead - it’s time for me to move on (after April 28). It’s been a privilege to work on something as meaningful and important as the Fediverse. 🧵👇🏻 (1/4)

       More frustrating experiences with companies that don't pay enough attention to the needs of their elderly customers.https://andypiper.co.uk/2026/05/26/tech-is-failing-older-people/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

       Reader, it did not work by midnight. Another day without a phone line for a vulnerable older person. Appalling.

       Now escalated to BT complaints, their chief exec, and our MP.Unable to go to the Communications Ombudsman (yet) because *checks notes* there’s a mandatory 6 week wait for resolution of the complaint, or need for a “deadlock letter”, before I can do that.Six weeks. For a 90 year old person. In the middle of an unseasonal heatwave. So, no, I don’t think I’m waiting.

       @hackhitchin @m @cymplecy @kianryan :-( OTOH I think the Wordpress ActivityPub folks are working on / have worked on events support? And I know there's other fedi work around events in general. tagging @pfefferle

       @p @andypiper@andypiper.co.uk hi there! I do have a DevTerm - and also a uConsole - and too many other gadgets. I'm not a full-time Mastodon admin though, far from that. How can I help?
