It turns out that since Mastodon 3.0.1 only the first four hashtags in a pinned hashtag search column actually work.

There's no warning, no error message, and no limit to the number of hashtags you can put into the box. It just... fails silently.

#mastodon #meta #github

I got reports that a couple of instances where their federation stopped working. I suspect others also might have a slower federation because of jobs stuck in their Sidekiq queue.

I have done some debugging and came up with a patch https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/12171 that I will start installing in a minute.

You should expect around a 15 second downtime during the patch installation.

This patch will strip metadata from audio files. This was the only way I found to solve this issue until a fix is issued.

So 🇨🇿​ people, what to see in Praha in the beginning of the september?

I have convinced the European Parliament administration to add this fediverse account to my official profile page (though they don't have a fediverse symbol yet): https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/197431/PATRICK_BREYER/home

@marketkag, Mikuláš Peksa, @patrickbreyer, and I officially formed a delegation of European Pirates in the European Parliament yesterday. Now, I have the honor to be the head of a delegation that spans across two countries, which is unconventional in the European Parliament.

<< Parliament has just adopted its position on the terrorism regulation. The good news: All amendments to re-introduce mandatory #uploadfilter were clearly rejected. The bad news: We failed to delete the 1 hour deadline by 3 votes: 300 to 297. #TERREG >>
