Whether that be Linux, open source software like Firefox, or Mastodon itself. If you're interested in technology, Fosstodon is a great place to start.\r\n\r\nWe're not just techies on Fosstodon though! We like to think of tech as the hobby that brings us all together, but it doesn't define us. That's why we encourage all our members to post about whatever interests them, not just tech (so long as it is allowed under our CoC).","email":"mail@fosstodon.org","version":"4.3.3","urls":{"streaming_api":"wss://fosstodon.org"},"stats":{"user_count":62408,"status_count":4086190,"domain_count":58752},"thumbnail":"https://cdn.fosstodon.org/site_uploads/files/000/000/004/@1x/ec7a05be77b5390f.png","languages":["en"],"registrations":false,"approval_required":false,"invites_enabled":true,"configuration":{"accounts":{"max_featured_tags":10},"statuses":{"max_characters":500,"max_media_attachments":4,"characters_reserved_per_url":23},"media_attachments":{"supported_mime_types":["image/jpeg","image/png","image/gif","image/heic","image/heif","image/webp","image/avif","video/webm","video/mp4","video/quicktime","video/ogg","audio/wave","audio/wav","audio/x-wav","audio/x-pn-wave","audio/vnd.wave","audio/ogg","audio/vorbis","audio/mpeg","audio/mp3","audio/webm","audio/flac","audio/aac","audio/m4a","audio/x-m4a","audio/mp4","audio/3gpp","video/x-ms-asf"],"image_size_limit":16777216,"image_matrix_limit":33177600,"video_size_limit":103809024,"video_frame_rate_limit":120,"video_matrix_limit":8294400},"polls":{"max_options":4,"max_characters_per_option":50,"min_expiration":300,"max_expiration":2629746}},"contact_account":{"id":"28400","username":"fosstodon","acct":"fosstodon","display_name":"Fosstodon","locked":false,"bot":false,"discoverable":true,"indexable":false,"group":false,"created_at":"2018-05-09T00:00:00.000Z","note":"\u003cp\u003eThe official Fosstodon account for the instance.\u003c/p\u003e","url":"https://fosstodon.org/@fosstodon","uri":"https://fosstodon.org/users/fosstodon","avatar":"https://cdn.fosstodon.org/accounts/avatars/000/028/400/original/324cba4cb379bd4e.png","avatar_static":"https://cdn.fosstodon.org/accounts/avatars/000/028/400/original/324cba4cb379bd4e.png","header":"https://cdn.fosstodon.org/accounts/headers/000/028/400/original/26d3ccc8dbfc4767.png","header_static":"https://cdn.fosstodon.org/accounts/headers/000/028/400/original/26d3ccc8dbfc4767.png","followers_count":33712,"following_count":4,"statuses_count":258,"last_status_at":"2025-01-26","hide_collections":true,"noindex":true,"emojis":[],"roles":[{"id":"6","name":"Official","color":"#77bb41"}],"fields":[{"name":"Support us","value":"\u003ca href=\"https://hub.fosstodon.org/support-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer me\" translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003ehttps://\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ehub.fosstodon.org/support-us\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e","verified_at":null},{"name":"CoC","value":"\u003ca href=\"https://hub.fosstodon.org/code-of-conduct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer me\" translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003ehttps://\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ellipsis\"\u003ehub.fosstodon.org/code-of-cond\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003euct\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e","verified_at":null},{"name":"Backup account","value":"\u003ca href=\"https://mastodon.social/@fosstodon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer me\" translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003ehttps://\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003emastodon.social/@fosstodon\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"invisible\"\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e","verified_at":"2023-03-03T09:44:00.932+00:00"}]},"rules":[{"id":"2","text":"Do not use slurs or racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory or hateful jokes or language or promote white supremacy, anti-Semitism, transphobia or other hateful ideologies.","hint":""},{"id":"3","text":"Do not harass anyone, participate in group harassment of anyone, or otherwise engage in personal attacks.
