 Notes on running a [[mastodon]] instance. I use [[https://masto.host/|masto.host]], so I don't have any knowledge of the sysadmin side of things.
+===== Customisation =====
+==== CSS ====
+Typical programmer [[HTML]] and [[CSS]], a complete mess, overwritten, overly complicated process. But at least you can apply your own mess on top of it...
+From the settings page you can go Administration > Site settings and scroll down to 'Custom CSS'. Anything you put here will be loading in it's own stylesheet called custom.css.
+My complete stylesheet is here: [[tildegit>rjt/mastodon-custom.css-gms]]
+=== Link Underlines ===
+<code css>
+a.status-link:not(.mention) {
+	text-decoration:underline;
+}
+</code>
+=== De-truncate URLs ===
+<code css>
+span.ellipsis::after {
+	content:"";
+}
+span.invisible {
+	display:inline;
+	font-size:inherit;
+	height:inherit;
+	line-height:inherit;
+	position:inherit;
+	width:inherit;
+}
+</code>
+=== Emoji Icon ===
+<code css>
+.emoji-button {
+	content:url("[file address]");
+	width:32px;
+}
+</code>

 The entire Fediverse is fucking awful. Probably at least 50% shithead bigots, and of the rest most are some bland flavour of hippy nerd. The good thing is that you don't have to associate with instances you don't like.
-The best way to keep up with new shit instances is to follow the 'fediblock' tag. It's also useful to [[https://mastodon.social/tags/fediblock|check the tag from a big instance like mastodon.social]], so make sure you don't miss stuff. Note that .social federates with some of the shit instances you'll probably want to block, so there'll be some noise.

 I think it's important for an admin to be proactive about who you federate with, so when I find a shit instance I have a browse and see who else those people are talking to.
+A lot of the platforms that aren't Mastodon are even worse. Pleroma, Lemmy, Friendica, and [[Peertube]] instances are almost always worth blocking.
+Search for shithead tags (#NoAgendaShow ...) and emoji (pepe ...) is a good way to find bozos who've flown under the radar.
