Looks like WordPress.com has changed how the Mastodon plug in works

A few days ago, my WP posts stopped coming through to Mastodon, which I guess is when WP deployed a change to how the Mastodon plugin worked? I haven’t really been paying attention and don’t really think I should have to (stupid technology).

So now, on the blog’s Jetpack | Social settings page, you can syndicate to other social media sites, so now my blog posts looks like my regular Mastodon posts (I wonder how long posts will come through? I guess we’ll see.).

«Over the last few hours Mastodon treasure @Teri_Kanefield has been the victim of very vulgar harassment on her server law-and-politics.online.

Mastodon lets users create their own instances, but you need to block bad instances.

Fortunately, Mastodon provides support for this:

Pete @Pete: “You won’t be able to stay ahead of the garbage if you try to block domain by domain. You want an automated solution that leverages the collective moderation efforts of the Fediverse. I use FediBlockHole (https://pypi.org/project/fediblockhole/) and sync with the oliphant unified tier 2 blocklist (https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists). Set it up to run daily in cron and you’ll see an immediate improvement. Follow @fediblock who does a great job curating, de-duping and boosting #fediblock“»
