Look, I have a new pin, and it's Mastodon!

Yes, it's getting out of hand. Yes, I'll continue adding more.

.@Gargron por mi te puedes ir lejos y no volver-
#Mastodon no es mas que otra red de las redes del fediverso que desaparecerá y surgiran de nuevas al lado de las que ya hay, mastodon se metió en el fediverse, siendo una calcomania de Twitter y wsin #GNUsocial nunca hubiera sido nada, sin el #fediverse y ahora parece ser segun ustedes que mastodon hizó al fediverse y NO-

#fediverse >> fediverse.party/
Mastodon solo es un pedacito del fediverse-

No se dice eso en las migraciones

Thank you for everything

#Mastodon

You are correct that #Mastodon and #Fediverse success has lifted a huge responsibility to "sanitize" what is the internet today.

Can I ask if you personally have a desire to advocate for a foundation type of organization that will work as a Non Government organization and lend your expirience and all the people who have worked around the Fediverse and FOSS, in order to create better legislation? Have you spoke about this before and I missed it?

Thanks Eugen. You have delivered a tool that opened a window to return to the original intention of the Internet.

Your focus on decentralisation brought thousands of communities the ability to communicate safely. Among themselves or in connection to others.

The Fediverse wouldn't be where it is now without your tenacity and focus to bring Mastodon to where it is now.

You have the respect and gratitude of many.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

Three years ago today, we opened the doors to our corner of the Fediverse. 💙

What started as an idea has grown into a friendly space for good conversations, smart humor, and authentic interactions. It’s been amazing watching this community grow with all of you.

Thank you to everyone who’s shared, posted, and made Vivaldi Social part of their online space. You’ve helped shape this community into what it is today.

Here’s to everyone who’s been part of it, and to all the new voices we’ll meet along the way.

Happy 3rd birthday, Vivaldi Social! 🎉

WIRED: Would you welcome president Trump if he was debating joining bluesky?

@jay.bsky.team: Yeah, #bluesky is for everyone.

...

I understand that #ATproto should be for everyone, but decentralization means you don't have to allow everyone on your server. They can run their own and everyone can decide how to deal with that. The company doesn't need to make these decisions. She knows this.

I doubt @Gargron would welcome him on #mastodon infrastructure.

Give me that camera so I can exploit you on Mastodon for a change.

This new release of #Mastodon for #AppleII mostly brings you the ability to view pictures and send pictures in DHGR - Double High Graphics Resolution! 560x192 in monochrome, or 140x192 in 16 colors.
You can find it via colino.net/wordpress/en/mastod…

Here it is! Our metalhead.club public advert in Wacken!

Thank you very much @MountainWizard for checking it out!

If you're in Wacken today or in the next few days: Find our advert at Hauptstraße 33 and maybe take a selfie? 😉

(are we the first Mastodon instance that has publicly deployed an advert?)

Mastodon is adding a way for people to donate.

This small change could help support Mastodon.

Is there a way to remove "Trending now" from the settings so that the column I get in this is not something to be scrolled? It looks terrible on deck mode @vmstan with half scrollable, half stuck there (the trending hashtags).

Is #cve_2025_6019 an option for you?

(Edit: had to remove the / variant, #Mastodon doesn't do nested-obsidian-style variants either 😀

In ihrer Sonderausgabe „Die besten Einfälle des 21. Jahrhunderts“ beschreibt die #zeit auch #mastodon .
Das ist dann die Rubrik „Die besten digitalen Begleiter […]“.

Zitat:
„[…] bis heute versprüht Mastodon den spröden Charme der Informatik-AG eines kleinstädtischen Gymnasiums. Und trotzdem ist das Netzwerk eine Hoffnungsmaschine für alle, die an ein anderes, besseres Internet glauben […]“

Kann man so stehenlassen, denke ich. Mich freut die Erwähnung.
