okisayakaさんのトゥートによると #トランプ 支配下になったから、サーバや本部がアメリカにある #Bluesky も気をつけろ、ということか。
やはり非営利の #Mastodon などの分散型SNSは政局に強いようだ。

Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag

If you use #Bluesky or #Substack have an #enshittification escape plan!

These corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?

Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on #Mastodon and #Ghost and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be.

Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀

For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.

I wanted to see the current status of group actor support in #Mastodon.

This feature has been requested all the way back in 2016. It’s a feature request that is so old, it’s the 139th ticket. After it was made, @gargron stated shortly after:

I made a decision not to implement groups. They offer little benefit over a cost of added complexity, and the bangtag syntax personally irks me too.

A year later, he re-opened the feature request and said:

Reopening, but not high priority.

No further update since then. Nearly a decade after this feature had been requested, group support has not been added and it’s still not a high priority.

Now the intent of this post isn’t to wag my finger at Mastodon and say, “How dare they!” It’s clear that Mastodon is in a transitional state right now, and their focus is on other things – like quote posts and search.

But it is to say that the development of this feature is so completely out of Mastodon’s control that it now represents an opportunity loss for the platform. Because the truth is – whether or not Mastodon supports group actors – many Mastodon users are using it anyway even though this causes quite a few UI/UX problems along the way. Namely, the common Mastodon user cannot differentiate between a single user account and a group actor.

So now we have two groups of Mastodon users: those who want to make use of services like #Lemmy, #Piefed, #NodeBB, and those who are completely unaware of those services and ask, “Why the hell is Mastodon acting like this when I try to interact with that account?”

More to the point, group actors should be embraced because not only is this a valuable feature, but they’re also critical for community safety. No one can moderate a hashtag, but they can certainly moderate a Lemmy community.

Like I said, though, development of Mastodon is ongoing – whether Mastodon participates or not. And that specific element of the #Fediverse continues to grow, despite the fact that the most used Fediverse service (sans Threads) regards it as “low priority”. As long as Reddit and Facebook Groups users seek out an open, federated alternative, there will be demand for group actors.

Why am I saying all this? Because this is my plea for better interoperability. It is certainly within Mastodon’s right to be picky about what features they implement. However, the Fediverse would be plainly better if Mastodon finally supported this important ActivityPub standard.

How vulnerable do you believe large USA-based Mastodon/Fediverse servers are to the same kind of corporate/white house manipulation or direct involvement/takeover?

@elena oh wow didn’t know it was possible! Thanks for your advice! Random question, do you know how to apply the #bookface theme to #friendica ?
I’ve searched online and I only find dev blogs which I don’t understand. I hope I didn’t bite off more than I can chew! Currently looking at which place to call home: #mbin #mastodon or #friendica . I have to look at what I need and want to follow, and whether they can talk both ways, so holding thinbs to find one and #selfhost !

Yo #mastodon gang,

is the mastodon app on #fdroid legit? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.joinmastodon.android/

The official mastodon web page doesn't list F-Droid as an option which is why I'm asking. And do you have any recommendations on alternative #foss android clients?

Cheers <3

Bluesky is the land of fake followers. I've got 1.3 Thousand now, somehow.

1.3k followers, typically 0-1 likes on posts. No real engagement. Not unless you're a large account from that other place. Hell, I didn't come from that other place. I don't understand at all why some of those personalities are so popular.

@[email protected] schwierige Entscheidung
Ich sag mal so, wäre ich nicht bei @Carlos als Gast untergekommen, hätte ich jetzt wohl eine eigene Instanz.

Ich habe mir da wirklich 14 Tage nur auf einer Instanz angetan, beim testen, damit ich ein richtiges Arbeitsgefühl für komme.

Na ja, aus den 14 Tagen testen sind erst ein Monat geworden, dann 2 und dann habe ich überlegt, ob ich nicht @Carlos fragen kann, das ich bleiben darf. Ein zurück gab es für mich dann nicht mehr.

Friendica wäre für mich auch eien Option, aber da bräuchte ich ein anderes Thema/Maske, so mag ich es eher nicht

#mastodon #friendica #misskey #iceshrimp #sharkey #Fediverse

Iceshrimp sieht echt schicki aus, ich bin gespannt wie die neu geschriebene version aussieht…Jetzt hab ich 3 Dinge die ich entscheiden muss:
1. Geh ich von Mastodon weg?
2. Was nehm ich? Friendica oder einen der *Key- forks?
3. Soll ich meine eigene Instanz aufsetzen (lassen)?
Fragen über Fragen…

I am sure there is a reason why those who preach hate speech seem to prefer the software platform, Pleroma, as opposed to Mastodon or Misskey, or the many forks of either. 🤔

I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/ https://about.iftas.org/

Anyone a good recommendation for a Mastodon client for Android? I am using Trunks now but it keeps scrolling all the way down. I need to manually scroll up all the time which is really annoying.

#Mastodon #Android #Fediverse

I'm checking out @openvibe to cross post #Mastodon and #Bluesky. I prefer Mastodon but it appears the friends I moved over with don't. A lot of them landed on # threads which I won't do. So both my Bluesky and Mastodon feeds are pretty quiet. Anyone else have a preferred multi socials app?

So I haven't been on BlueSky or Mastodon as much because I don't know how to get traction there as well?

Is it wrong to want to use the same tricks here on Facebook (like hearting and commenting on posts to raise help raise other indie comic posts) on BlueSky and Mastodon?

Does that go agains the design focus for those platforms? And if so then how to I reach more of an audience on there. I just don't have the bandwidth to use it like old social media

Let's be honest, there is no #search feature in #fediverse (#mastodon)...

The absence of a full-text search feature in Mastodon and the broader Fediverse is a multifaceted issue with both intentional design choices and practical challenges.

New users may struggle to find relevant content or communities, hindering engagement and adoption. This contrasts sharply with centralized platforms like Twitter, where search drives content virality.

So Users have to manually tag posts (#) for discoverability, which can feel burdensome but fosters organized, topic-focused discussions.

My thoughts...

Opt-In Search???

Instances could allow users to index their content for cross-server discovery, respecting decentralization while improving usability...


Decentralized indexing protocol???

Fediverse Reportが、Mastodonで実装予定の引用機能とその影響について論じてる。

Mastodon CEOのEugen氏は、引用機能が嘲笑や嫌がらせなどの有害行為につながると考えてきた。

一方で、Twitterの引用ツイートに関する30以上の研究を分析した報告では、引用機能が有害行為を増やすか減らすかについては"矛盾する証拠があり、どんな影響があるとしても、それは大きなものではない"と結論付けられてるとのこと。

New: Fediverse Report #104

In this edition I take a closer look at #mastodon 's announcement to add support for quote posts, and what this means Mastodon's place in the wider network

With other news:
- @swf is now an official W3C member
- @blog , a WordPress plugin for adding ActivityPub support for events, launches as 1.0
- Controversial Lemmy server Hexbear loses control of their domain, leading to a bidding war for thousands of dollars

https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-104/

That’s it, that’s the mechanism.

Forget #GlobalNorth users, even #GlobalSouth users cannot find fellow users from their regions, or find posts about the global south, even if both exist.

This happens with most global south users, and with an overwhelming majority of the posts on global south topics.

That’s how #Mastodon, and the rest of the #Fediverse, invisiblize the global south.

(continues)

Generalize mastodon.social in the above example to all mainstream, primarily #GlobalNorth, #Mastodon servers. No user on any of those servers will ever become aware of user X’s post containing #Namibia, even if some of them consciously search for the term.

I have argued a few times that for all practical purposes, the global south does not exist for Mastodon, and for the rest of the Fediverse. But many people I interact with do not quite understand how this works in practice.

This series of posts is an effort to illustrate that mechanism.

(continues)

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

Fediverse Reportが、Mastodonで実装予定の引用機能とその影響について論じてる。

Mastodon CEOのEugen氏は、引用機能が嘲笑や嫌がらせなどの有害行為につながると考えてきた。

一方で、Twitterの引用ツイートに関する30以上の研究を分析した報告では、引用機能が有害行為を増やすか減らすかについては"矛盾する証拠があり、どんな影響があるとしても、それは大きなものではない"と結論付けられてるとのこと。

"#Germany’s #Habeck slams ‘#tech #oligarch’ #Musk, calls for a #European #X" / #Twitter

I'm trying to think of a #socialmedia, founded in Germany, with a strong commitment to #privacy and #rights and already in full compliance with #German law

I think it was founded in 2016, by a computer science student at the University of #Jena... named Eubert? Imogen?

The mascot is a hairy elephant I think?

And just for the record —

Just like everyone else I contacted about their 'discoverable' flag being defaulted to 'false' —

He wasn't aware of the 'discoverable' flag existing (just like everyone else I contacted).

He didn't want to be hidden (just like everyone else I contacted).

He changed it to 'true' (just like everyone else I contacted).

As it is now, I think the 'discoverable' flag is broken.

And, I think the whole user-experience (UX) around the 'discoverable' flag is poor.

And, I think Fediverse software treating a 'false' value for 'discoverable' as "not discoverable" (rather than "not discoverable" or "no choice made") has hugely negative consequences for the user-experience (UX) of the Fediverse

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

7/

So now I have to DM Ben to tell him that his 'discoverable' flag is set to false

He (just like everyone else I contacted) will likely not even be aware that the 'discoverable' flag exists

And (just like everyone else I contacted) wished it wasn't set to false

And then (just like everyone else I contacted) struggle to find where he can set it to true

And then set it

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

6/

As it is now, the 'discoverable' flag seems broken to me.

Because 'false' doesn't actually mean 'false'.

'false' (in practice) means both "not discoverable" and "no choice made". And this is a very unfortunate situation —

Because the idea of a 'discoverable' flag is a good idea — but this problem with the meaning of 'false' and the UX consequences a big deal.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.

We could have had so that:

'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.

'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.

And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

4/

With other conceptions, this lack of choice — this lack of setting a value — isn't as muddled.

With optional-types (which are also called "option-types" and "maybe-types") when something isn't assigned a value it is represented as 'nothing' / 'none'.

In relation-databases, this is represented as 'null'.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

3/

As it is right now, the 'discoverable' flag does not communicate whether the user actually made a 'true' or 'false' choice.

If it is 'true' we know they made a choice.

But if it is 'false' it either means the user chose 'false' or the user didn't make a choice. BUT WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

There are a HUGE number of people who (unknown to them) have their 'discoverable' flags set to 'false' who —

№2:

Do NOT know that they have a 'discoverable' flag —

And do NOT know that their 'discoverable' flag was automagically set to 'false' —

And do not understand the consequence of having their 'discoverable' flag set to false.

A problem with the 'discoverable' flag (in Mastodon and any other Fediverse software that added it) is —

There are a HUGE number of people who (unknown to them) have their 'discoverable' flags set to 'false' who —

№1:

Did NOT set their 'discoverable' to 'false' themselves.

Mastodon assigned it for them without ever asking them before hand and getting consent.

Would you prefer that YOU ARE HIDDEN on the Fediverse?

That nobody (new) ever follows you?

That nobody (new) ever sees your posts?

I KNOW THIS QUESTION SEEMS WEIRD, BUT — THERE IS A SMALL GROUP THAT IS CURRENTLY ARGUING MOST PEOPLE ON THE FEDIVERSE WANT TO BE HIDDEN IN THIS WAY

They don't represent me. And I don't think they should (even implicitly) speak for me

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HIDDEN LIKE THIS — PLEASE VOTE "NO"

Please boost for reach.

Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en

All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.

How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.

How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.

Practice what you preach!

Hello #mastodon I am Tsundemon. I decided to try this app out because I have been searching for alternatives of #twitter because of how horrendous and full blown nazism, fascism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism and more that has spread across the site. So I turned to #bluesky which is okay, and here I am on Mastodon as well to check how it fares in comparison between bluesky and here. Also if anyone have alternatives #meta sites like #facebook , #instagram and #messenger please do help out. Thx 😃

Mastodon führt Zitat-Funktion ein.

Zitat: «Das neue Feature wird mehrere Sicherheitsmechanismen enthalten: Nutzer können selbst bestimmen, ob ihre Beiträge zitiert werden dürfen. Sie werden benachrichtigt, wenn jemand sie zitiert, und können ihr Original jederzeit aus dem zitierten Kontext entfernen.»

Dass man festlegen kann, ob seine Beiträge zitiert werden dürfen oder nicht, finde ich okay, auch dass man darüber benachrichtigt wird. Aber das nachträgliche Entfernen halte ich für falsch.

Ich befürchte, dann hat man bald nicht mehr nur aus dem Zusammenhang gerissene Threads, sondern auch #Zitate, die sich im Rahmen von Quote Posts auf nicht mehr vorhandene Beiträge beziehen, da sie vom Ersteller nachträglich aus dem zitierten Kontext entfernt wurden.

Das, was da bei #Mastodon geplant wird, habe ich bei anderen Fedi-Diensten, die das Zitieren von Beiträgen schon lange unterstützen, bislang nicht gesehen. Ob ich das jetzt gut finde, kann ich gar nicht sagen.

As #mastodon / #fediverse grows, how do we make sure that we're not spreading dis-/mis-information #onHere?

Comments on Mastodon don't federate as easily along the post itself. I find myself opening the original post in a browser more and more to see all the comments collected and if anyone is challenging the veracity of some news.

Is anyone doing any work in that sense? And I don't mean moderation. I'd be thinking of what other social networks call "fact checking".

I'm an old introvert, decided that the last stage of my life is going to be making games. Right now it's happening on Unreal Engine.

I'm very sad that Mastodon has stopped being active for indie developers. The statistics haven't changed for over a year, while other social networks are much more active... are you people in bluesky?

EPFL is now on Mastodon with its very own instance: social.epfl.ch. We're excited to welcome you to this new space to discuss research, education, and innovation.
See you soon on #Mastodon! #EPFL 🚀

Adding meaningful alt-text is not only important for everyone using a screenreader and an essential #inclusion and #accessibility requirement. Alt-text is also searchable and used by filters. People who prefer to filter certain people and topics for mental health and other reasons can't filter memes or images without it. Please use alt-text and cw generously 🙏

Added bonus: with added alt-text you can find images in your own posts with "from:me" and people are more likely to boost your posts.

#screenreader #fediverse #Mastodon

Looks like my #Mastodon instance connection was severed with many other servers from the #fediverse, especially #GoToSocial.

Could you please give this post a boost, so I can see where it reaches and where it cannot be seen?

Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻

今晩の献立は…

🥐クロワッサンのキッシュ風グラタン
🥗かぶとスナップえんどうのサラダ
🥬カーボロネロとトマトのスープ

ピカールで買った冷凍クロワッサンを焼いておいたので、今夜は卵と牛乳に浸してパングラタンに🥚🥛

クロワッサン生地が軽いから漬け込み時間もかからず中はフレンチトーストのようにとろっと、外はパイのようにサックサク🥧

簡単なのに、華やかで楽しい一品が出来上がりました

Bonjour le Fediverse, voici notre fameuse #Introduction ! 📢
L’EPFL débarque aujourd’hui sur Mastodon avec son instance dédiée : social.epfl.ch. Nous sommes ravis de vous accueillir dans ce nouvel espace pour échanger sur la recherche, l’éducation et l’innovation.
À très vite sur #Mastodon #EPFL 🚀

Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en

All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.

How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.

How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.

Practice what you preach!

Here's the thing about #QuotePosts - it doesn't matter what #Mastodon does, how much they "thought about" it, how "smart" they were with making an "abuse-proof" system, because client apps already do them, and your client app IS your Mastodon experience.

The most important thing a client app can do, with respect to quote posts, is ignore the official guidelines, and keep doing things the way they were doing things.

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.

Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

@liaizon Yep!

#DhaagaApp is very a unique fedi client, in that, it focused on building on top of protocols, rather than just implementing a front-end for them.

Some of these:

- bookmark collections
- better feed/pin management
- saving posts offline
- multi-protocol support
- Organizing notification by tabs

Are UX issues raised by the community over the years.

While certain #mastodon/#misskey forks do solve these server-side, the Dhaaga project is going with an alternative approach.

#DhaagaUpdates v0.15.0 will be out tonight 🎉

I am excited to introduce Collections™!

Bookmark implementation in #mastodon is pretty weak.

And #bluesky does not even have bookmarks yet!

Also, unlike #misskey, there is no way to organise them into folders, for example.

With this update, #DhaagaApp will let you create bookmarks and organise them into collections for ANY #fediverse software.

The saved posts can be viewed anytime, offline from your device.

See you next release,

Don't forget to use hashtags to spread the word about events on Mastodon

That way, people can follow the hashtag to keep track, or filter out the hashtag if they're not interested #️⃣👀

Also capitalize each word in a hashtag to help with accessibility.

Genuinely curious as to why some of you here haven't moved in some way over to BlueSky?

I vaguely know it runs on the same kind of framework as #Mastodon & the fediverse but not much more than that.

Just looking for some insight from people a lot smarter than me.

Hey #Mastodon knowers. How does the report feature work?
I tried to report a post on the federated feed, and when it came to 'select posts' that were involved with the report, no posts came up.

I know being fully dependent on US-based infrastructure is a bad idea. This is why I have been looking into alternative ways of work

I see that in 2025, I've been posting in Finnish 90% of the time and in English only 10%, mainly due to the huge influx of Finnish users this year. In previous years, it was the opposite - 90% English and 10% Finnish.

The best part? It doesn't matter here in the Fediverse. With language filtering and translation features, it's truly a top-tier social media.

I use #Signal not because I have something to hide, I use #SignalApp because it's none of your* damn business what I talk about with friends and family :)

* "your" can be governments, adversaries, stalkers or any other people/groups I have decided that I don't want to interact with.

(and, as always, the first comment tries to convince you to use something else instead of Signal. That's unfortunately just the way this thing here works as #Mastodon refuses to implement ways to manage replies.)

After what feels like 15 years, #Mastodon will implement Quote Toots. So I guess limiting and managing replies will come in 2043? ;)

@MastodonEngineering Several issues of concern immediately arise related to your announced plans for quotable posts, at least one of which could trigger misinformation and related concerns.

First, unless I missed it, I did not see discussion of whether or not a quoted post could be edited after it was quoted. Obviously, the ability to do so could result in changes that completely altered the meaning of the quoting post that included the quoted post, whether unintentionally or intentionally.

While the inclusion of an "Edited" label on the quoted post would give some warning, the ability to alter the content of a quoted post at will still puts quoting posts at notable risk of manipulation.

Similarly, the ability to "at will" delete a quoted post at any time puts any quoting posts that included that quoted post (and subsequent replies/discussions) at risk of being completely marginalized, again whether that is the intended effect or not.

Finally, since any post can be ersatz "quoted" via screenshots, it is unclear what the purpose of a "do not quote" flag on a post will actually mean, other than adding some friction to the process of someone who intended to quote that post one way or another. In this sense, the flag gives the false impression that a post cannot be quoted, when in fact screenshot quoting would of course still be possible. Especially for new users, this could be significantly misleading. It could also be argued that the ability to edit and/or delete quoted posts may trigger a surge in screenshot-based quoting to avoid these uncertainties.

I have long felt that a native quoting function would be a significant asset to #Mastodon, but experiences with other social media platforms suggest that you may be repeating some of the same design errors that caused significant problems for those other platforms and their users -- and in some cases still do so.

Thanks for listening. Best, -L

@MastodonEngineering

woohoo: perfection, if it works.
"In order to mitigate these issues, we plan to include several features in our implementation:

‣ You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.

‣ You will be notified when someone quotes you.

‣ You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time."

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

When quote-posts become baked into #Mastodon and available via the API, I hope clients stop fetching quoted posts on their own.

Part of Mastodon's implementation will be the ability for people to prevent quote-posting of their content, and to "withdraw" their posts from anywhere they were quoted.

"Faking" quote-posts by merely fetching the post object from within the client will not respect these preferences and intentions of the quoted user.

> You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.
> You will be notified when someone quotes you.
> You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.

This is fantastic. The last point especially is an amazing control (and safety) feature.

The @MastodonEngineering team shares their thinking process on implementing Quote Posts, a long-requested feature.

I've been contemplating ways the #Fediverse can and/or needs to expand. I'm working with schools in partnership to use #Mastodon for instructional purposes. I'm also thinking about where my business can lead the way with commercial applications. I understand the historical norms for the community here. However, there comes a day where things must come together. Question is - what do we want that to look like? Brand accounts seem most logical direction from where we are now - but there is more...

What are your favorite #bots on #Mastodon ?

What are your favorite #bots on #Mastodon ?

Since #Mastodon does not (yet?) have an option to hide posts without #AltText on images, here's a uBlockOrigin / AdGuard custom filter to do so:

tech.lgbt##div.item-list[role="feed"] a.media-gallery__item-thumbnail img:not([alt]):upward(article):style(max-height:0 !important; overflow:hidden !important)

• replace tech.lgbt with your instance domain
• open uBlockOrigin, select the My filters tab and copy the rule there
• hiding the article altogether breaks pagination, so I'm using custom CSS to shrink them to zero pixels
• the rule applies to all timelines (home, lists...), but not profile pages / replies
