For Mastodon, each mobile app developer needs to have a "webpush relay server" to receive Mastodon's webpush notifications and transmit them to the platform's push service. For Android, Mastodon recently added support for the latest webpush standard which allows the app developer to directly register Google's webpush endpoint with Mastodon, removing the need for a relay. In all cases, push notifications are encrypted by the Mastodon server, and decrypted by the Mastodon client, so any intermediaries (relay server, push notification service) can not read their content.

The content warning styling may be reverted (its already done in `main`), and we are not aware of any performance issues with 4.3, it's in fact the opposite from all the feedback we got. I am really curious of what is happening here and asked the admin to provide more information.

Our operating structure is still the Germany-based Mastodon gGmbH. The new US non-profit is here to facilitate fundraising in the US and promote Mastodon there (plus maybe one day pay developers directly, if we hire in the US).

We have been a non-profit since Mastodon gGmbH has been founded and our biggest issue is our lack of funding to hire more people full-time, not politics or admin overhead. We do not expect this to change anytime soon.

We (the Mastodon non-profit) do not offer support contracts at the moment, but this is a good idea, thanks :)

But we indeed have sponsorships open, and they really have impact. Having full-time people working on the project is very impactful, but at the moment we only have 1 full-time developer in addition to Eugen (the founder) and a DevOps person on the technical side.

From the information I gathered, this is an incident in the GlobalSwitch datacenter in Paris.

The cooling system leaked, and this started a fire in an electrical room.

The big issue here is that one Datacenter failure brought the whole region down, this is very abnormal.

Have you tried Newsblur? Its training feature is very powerful to trim down large feeds to only the topics you are interested into.
