The Oxford Word of the Year is "rage bait" 🙁 In a world seemingly filled with "rage bait", we're building technology that lets you connect authentically. That's why we carefully designed consent-respecting Quote Posts. Free speech isn’t about giving hate a megaphone, it’s about protecting the voices that need it most.🛡️ Mastodon’s community-driven moderation proves we can foster open dialogue and safety, without algorithms or agendas.Donate #SupportMastodon https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#donate

Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0589g0dqq7o

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/12/the-world-needs-social-sovereignty/

If you care about digital sovereignty and want to see your government join the #fediverse, contact them to say that #ItsTimeToAbolishX. Help us make a list of how to get in touch with a representative in your area under this post, and don’t forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it 👇🏽 we’ll start: #EU: https://commission.europa.eu/about/contact/representations-member-states_en#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start. 1/6

(The reason we’re starting with the apps and not the web is because the necessary data to run this experiment is already provided through the app store. It is more complicated to do this right for the web, and we want to think carefully about how to do this in a way that respects privacy.)2/6

The experiment will be designed to ensure that server admins remain in control: meaning they will have the power opt-in and opt-out as needed, or reduce the percentage of sign-ups flowing their way.3/6

The Default Server Recommendations experiment is a first step in reimagining how Mastodon onboarding & server discovery work. Our team’s intent is to work with the community to build new onboarding pathways that support the entire network. We can’t wait to get started 💜6/6

@taylorlorenz let us know how we can help - we think a lot of people are pretty tired of having their data mined, conversations sold, and commercial companies injecting inauthentic content into their timelines. Maybe that’s just us? Happy to have a chat if it would be useful.
