Mastodon Bird UI support for Mastodon v4.6.0 with CSS properties is coming soon. The theme will also be modularized using SCSS partials to match Mastodon's new style infrastructure.

The build process will include npm scripts and Parcel, making the theme ultra-portable for any Mastodon instance, whether added through the Custom CSS textarea or directly by a Mastodon admin.

I'll also create a simple bash script for Mastodon admins to enable the theme as a selectable option more easily than the current fork-and-cut method.

This is no easy feat, but definitely worth it.

Progress in the nightly branch.

@mastodonmigration This is a very valuable insight and one that will help to understand the underlaying problem.

Much more constructive than complaining about people who left a long time ago. This won't be solved by 'anecdotal evidence' and claims that don't contain any metrics.

Let's put in measures that will make #mastodon the safe place that we want it to be. #workInProgress

@mastodonmigration @randahl @tofugolem It's not #Mastodon, it's #Fediverse and we will never get further unless we finally figure this out.

Imagine you couldn't send e-mail from @gmail.com to @yahoo.com .. why do we tolerate this in social networks and walled messengers?

It does not mean we do have to win or something. All we need to be is viable alternative for people, who figured out someone is puppeting them...

So many good posts that I want to boost, but don't have alt-text
