#go2socialchangelog

Users, you might have experienced issues accessing gotosocial.social in the last 24 hours, it's easing up now. This is actually a bug. I've reported it upstream and a fix is on the way. Sorry for interruptions! Specifically, federating with PeerTube causes crashes. The issue started around October 30th and got worse yesterday. The instance kept restarting, making timelines load etc. crashes intermittently. But because the reboots were fast and stayed stable briefly afterwards, uptime monitoring and my initial checks didn't report/find any issues. If you're an instance admin using the #GoToSocial snapshot, I recommend keeping an eye on PR #5090 and updating once it is merged. If you're on the stable version, you should be fine in most cases. #go2socialchangelog

Due to a storage node failure, https://gotosocial.social is temporarily offline. I'm investigating and fixing the issue. #go2socialchangelog

Users, now you can try the redesigned UI that Mastodon is preparing for 5.0 at https://next.masto-fe.gotosocial.social The redesigned UI is mostly usable, but it's still not finished and is under active development. I won't be following the updates closely, this is just to have a peek in advance. #go2socialchangelog

gotosocial.social has updated to #GoToSocial v0.22.0-rc.3! Now (likely for the first time ever), as a regular user, you can opt into various relays and push your posts exactly how you like. You can choose: ⁃ Whether to send Public posts ⁃ Whether to send Unlisted posts ⁃ Whether to exclude posts with Content Warnings ⁃ Whether to exclude posts with media attachments ⁃ Whether to exclude your own replies and comments In short, you can set up "blacklist" mode (push all by default, exclude some) or "whitelist" mode (push none by default, only push specific types), and use different settings for different relays. This is completely under your control. By default, nothing is pushed to any relay, and it’s not affected by the relays the site admin subscribes to. If you have questions or want the site to subscribe to a specific relay, feel free to DM me. Also: Account Directory is now supported. You can opt-in via the settings panel. You won’t be listed by default. See https://gotosocial.social/@admin/statuses/01KJET6BS4SSTW7RFXVNR7HAEXDeleted posts no longer break threads. You can still browse the rest of the posts in the sequence.When viewing posts on gotosocial.social via browser, if a post is inaccessible, you’ll see more detailed error messages (Deleted, Private, etc.).You can now name your access tokens and sort them by last-used time.If you choose to hide all posts on your web profile page, it now uses a single-column view so it doesn't look so empty.
