one of the perks of running an instance (or being a #fediadmin ) is choosing (or creating) custom emoji 
some random ones which I made or stole

We're still seeing a bunch of people signing up using a throw-away Email address. We have a valid reason for requiring your real Email address and it has nothing to do with SPAM. (We hate SPAM and we don't sell or give out your email address to anybody.)
The reason is we need to be able to get in touch with you outside of Sharkey and the Fediverse if there is a problem with your account. If you use a throw-away Email address we have no way to contact you.
We all believe in privacy as much as you probably do so that's why privacy email addresses are just fine! Proton Mail, Duck.com, Mozilla's Privacy Service, etc. are perfectly fine.
It's only those throw-away email addresses or those mailboxes that are only valid for 10 minutes that we forbid.
When we receive a new signup from somebody that has a throw-away email address we immediately block the domain along with every other domain that service is affiliated with.
Also, every new user has to agree to the server rules when signing up, and near the top is our rule against throw-away accounts. So, if you're going to agree to our servers' rule and then break one of the top rules while signing up, then it makes me wonder what other rules are you planning to break?
Pax.

#MastoAdmin 's what's an acceptable range of PgHero-identified "Slow Queries" to have at any given time? How slow is 'slow' to you as an admin?

Any other #FediMods / #FediAdmin seeing a #TwitterMigration right now? I'm seeing an above-average number of new #Fediverse users saying they just closed their Twitter account...

So do I understand properly that limiting to Followers Only while also @'ing someone will allow the at-ed person to see the post, but thereafter limit it to your followers only?

NSFW.social users - we have been getting a rash of spam signups so I'm going to be implementing signup approvals at least temporarily until this wave of SPAM dies out. This means new users will need to list an actual reason for why they want to join NSFW.social. Blank submissions, etc. will be rejected. #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin #NSFWAdmin

Content warning:PSA: For those who are affected by US election results CW: uspol
I'm sure you've seen many good-minded posts in multiple social networks, addressed to those who reacted badly to the results of the US presidential election - mostly minorities and queer people. Something like "Whatever happens, please don't do anything stupid to yourself." As admins of Fediverse instances (and also as our countries' citizens and regular netizens), we must not lose our motivation and focus and uphold the message provided by those posts.
Reassure your followers and mutuals. Give them breathing space when necessary. If the situation is dire, make contact via local helpline and do whatever you can to help them out.
Stay safe. It's not over yet.

Does anybody knows what’s the deal of synology.me? They seem to host a lot of instances on various subdomains. I thought it was a hosting provider for Fedi instances, but there is nothing on http://synology.me/.

In working to clean up the last spam wave I discovered an account “instance.actor” that has 0 followers and 0 posts, and is preset on 3,223 different instances. Any idea what that account is all about?
