I’m proud to be joining @Mastodon’s Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.

I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.

But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because our strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞

@evan

any chance of getting #DemocracyNow on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a #mastodon server for staff or a #peertube or #owncast site for video...

the great promise of the #SocialWeb imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.

@mondoweiss is blazing the trail for establishing true indy media for the dissident left here.

Every time i read in the announcements something like "Events and team news" I'm hopping to see something like "there are events now in Mastodon".
But then i realize it's just there events 😢

Events are really the thing, why I'm still using Facebook

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.

Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support

Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

We see Mr. Spok from "Star Trek" at his screen, he is sitting on his turnable office chair. Holding on to his buttons still, he is turning around, presumably to speak to the captain. The caption quotes him "We are receiving posts from decentralised social media... apparently, some part of the civilization survived." On the screen is a very small QR-code.

I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas… about.iftas.org/

#mastodon

With the latest update to #Mastodon's web app, we show you a little reminder when you're about to post a picture without adding alt text. Alt text is crucial for accessibility, but has other perks too, such as making it much easier to search for your post—or filter it. Of course, the reminder can be simply toggled off in preferences.
A screenshot of the Mastodon web app, showing a modal dialog titled "Add alt text?". It reads: "Your post contains media without alt text. Adding descriptions helps make your content accessible to more people." The buttons below are "Cancel", "Post anyway" and "Add alt text".

I think another graph from F-Droid would be nice too.

#mastodon

I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...
A screenshot of the "User acquisitions" metric from the Play Store console, showing "All user acquisitions" as 6.08K (+455.67%) and "All user acquisitions (30 days rolling average)" as 2.96K (+139.2%). The graph below shows a ramp up around beginning of January, coinciding with our latest release of the app, with a large peak on January 21 reaching 8K downloads, and the most recent date, January 23 showing roughly 6K downloads.
#mastodon

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.
A screenshot of the alt text modal in Mastodon's web app, with a preview of the image (in this case, our elephant mascot), a text field underneath it, a character counter, a button to automatically detect text on the image, and a help button that opens a popover with the headline "What is alt text?" The text that follows reads: "Alt text provides image descriptions for people with vision impairments, low-bandwidth connections, or those seeking extra context. You can improve accessibility and understanding for everyone by writing clear, concise, and objective alt text. - Capture important elements - Summarize text in images - Use regular sentence structure - Avoid redundant information - Focus on trends and key findings in complex visuals (like diagrams or maps)"

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.


For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂

Yay! My #Plushtodon from #Mastodon was delivered today!

I was not expecting it until after #Christmas 🎄, but I am glad that @Mastodon was able to expedite deliveries for those of us in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

Thanks @Gargron!

Hmm…now I need to figure out what to name it‽ Mister Masto‽ Super Masto‽ Nasty Masty‽ 😂 I will not use the latter, lest folks think I won this from a Dirty Santa 🎅🏾 game! 🤣🤪
