Anyone know if it's possible to disable #pictures on #gotosocial ?

As far as I understand this:
#GoToSocial implements the manual approval of comments (or more specifically, "interactions" such as replies) via its Interaction Policy. These policies define who can interact with your posts and whether those interactions require manual approval.

@vicgrinberg Therefore I prefer #GoToSocial over Mastodon:

It is, but they don't have a right to make you read it.
FYI If you Mute Conversation on the post, immediately after posting it, you won't see any replies. I presume this is what the GoToSocial controls @inkorrupt posted by about are doing.
People following your account will only see replies from accounts followed by someone on their server anyway, and not Muted/Block by them or their server admins. Which filters out a lot of garbage.
@strypey
No, #GotoSocial does not just hide replies, but puts them in q queue for approval before they appear public as comments.

Dear Fedi friends,
By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/
I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.
Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

Really wonderful ! Bravo ! It will help a lot.
Do you have any plans to have it dubbed in other languages ?

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 175 (video launch day) 🍿
Dear Fedi friends, you may have noticed that 20 minutes ago I made the announcement about the release of my Fediverse promo video on here. Why? 5000 character limit, so I could credit/thank everyone who helped. It really took a village to make it.
Today is not only the video's release day, but also, from the POV of a new self-hoster:
- a stress test for my self-hosted #PeerTube instance (worry level: low, they have P2P)
- a stress test for my self-hosted Ghost blog (it should hold up just fine with Varnish cache)
- and a test to see how far and wide a message posted on my #GoToSocial goes. If you're a fan of #GtS you may be pleased to see it mentioned in the video 🤗
I was afraid of the infamous Mastodon Hug of Death (with hundreds / thousands of servers trying to fetch the video cover image) so I ended up uploading it as UNLISTED on my PeerTube and embedding it on my Ghost blog... this way Ghost (protected by Varnish cache) will take most of the hit. I also provided an alternative video location for it.
Curious to see how all these self-hosted services will do today.
Have a great day everyone!

I am about to open an account on #gotosocial. It will be operational in a few hours. The Mastodon server on which I am hosted now, will be closing soon. So, I guess this new account will remain my main one.
I haven't tried #bonefire yet but I am eager to do it. Maybe in a month or two.

- Large Mastodon servers are expensive to host
The solution to this is a fediverse made up of many more, smaller servers. With more people actively involved in the governance and funding of the server they use. As well as using AP software other than Mastodon;
https://delightful.club/delightful_fediverse_apps/
Almost all of which makes much more efficient use of server resources than Mastodon's creaking Ruby-on-Rails backend.
(4/?)
Or as technomancy ( @technomancy?) put it;
"... for the Fediverse to be viable it has to move beyond Mastodon. Luckily this is already happening. My home Gotosocial instance federates with over 7000 servers and only peaks over 300MB ram when it’s processing media. Only rarely can I catch it showing up in top because its CPU usage is negligible.
... the greatest challenge to a growing, healthy Fediverse is overcoming the inertia of Mastodon."

Like Christine, I think the future of the fediverse will look quite different to the current Mastodon-dominated network, and more like the user experience offered by BS;

The raw materials already exist to build this evolution of the verse. The question is, how do we pull it all together?

Good morning Fedi friends!
If you've been following my toots for a while, you know how incredibly grateful I am to @yunohost for empowering me to self-host my own fedi instances.
Six months ago I knew nothing about self-hosting. Now, thanks to #YunoHost and the superb tools they offer (for free!), I am running my own #GoToSocial, #Friendica, #Pixelfed and #PeerTube instances. I am a new and improved and more empowered digital citizen thanks to it. I cannot begin to describe the immense gratitude I feel towards YunoHost and its team of volunteers.
Well, today I have a chance to give back (a little). YunoHost has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover its operating costs for the rest of the year.
✨ https://yunohost.org/donate.html 🪴
I just donated to it - and if you have the means could you join me in doing so, too? Every euro / dollar / yen counts.
YunoHost has the incredible mission of empowering anyone to self-host their digital services - not just fediverse software, but HUNDREDS of free open source apps.
Needless to say, I want YunoHost to continue operating and to thrive for many many years to come. Its services are ESSENTIAL.
Thank you YunoHost for changing my life and wishing you great success with your fundraising campaign! 💚🪴

It's the most exciting and frustrating and promising thing I've been part of since I first discovered email and the web.
@strypey same!
The feeling of empowerment I felt when I setup my #GoToSocial instance is indescribable - I would look at myself in the mirror and think: “I’m the owner and admin of my network!”
After witnessing and being affected by the enshittification of so many platforms, I can say it’s the best feeling (in the tech space).
Yay for #DigitalSovereignty 👑
Just a quick post testing out the #Hai! #client with #GotoSocial. Seems to be working nicely, overall.
