If you need a small yet full-featured #mastodon instance that is safe, look no further!
Look, I have a new pin, and it's Mastodon!
Yes, it's getting out of hand. Yes, I'll continue adding more.

Das Aktionsbündnis neue #sozialeMedien fordert die #Hochschulen und #Forschungsinstitute auf, die X noch nicht verlassen haben, diesen Schritt nun zum Schutz der #EuropäischenUnion zu tun.
Die Posts des Hauptbesitzers der #X-Plattform zeigen, dass er nicht bereit ist europäisches #Recht anzuerkennen 👇
https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Musk-wettert-nach-Millionenstrafe-gegen-die-EU-id30113377.html
Er stellt sich an die Seite von Antidemokraten weltweit, die die Herrschaft des starken Mannes durchsetzen und die #Demokratie abschaffen wollen.
X ist kein geeignetes Medium für einen sachorientierten und fachlichen Austausch, wie in der #WissKomm gefordert.
Die noch abseits stehenden Institute aus #Forschung, #Wissenschaft und #Lehre sollten den #eXit vollziehen, statt die Plattform durch ihre Mitwirkung zu legitimieren.
Mit #Mastodon steht ein geeignetes Medium für die #Wissenschaftskommunikation zur Verfügung.
Been a good week for Mastodon exposure on national TV. First, a noticeable icon spot during a Weekend Update bit on SNL and now this. #Mastodon https://oldfriends.live/@paul/115680116067839637

Dá certa tristeza ver a escolha dos atuais assessores do presidente Lula, que em seus primeiros mandatos falava de boca cheia sobre software livre e tinha iniciativas nesse sentido, terem escolhido perfis oficiais no Bluesky e Threads.
Lembro de ter ido algumas vezes a Brasília, no contexto do movimento de dados governamentais abertos e hacking cívico, e ver muito servidor público literalmente puxando projetos e iniciativas voltadas ao software livre e código aberto.
Talvez fazendo um pouco de mea culpa, pois virei imigrante, mas todo mundo sumiu? E os funcionários públicos daquela época?
Me parece que um conceito que passou batido nesse movimento foi o perigo da centralização. Poderíamos ter servidores oficiais com Mastodon ou algo análogo, como alguns na Alemanha e União Européia, mas a primeira iniciativa é logo ir pra uma plataforma com os mesmos vícios que nos levaram a essa situação.
Editado: e descobri que também criou no Threads, mas ainda não ativou a opção de fazer parte do fediverso, o que mostra o despreparo dos assessores.

As more and more organisations and groups come to us asking how they can build their own app, a digital space dedicated to their community and brand, we wanted to introduce you to the team behind the scenes.
Our technical partners are incredibly talented and have worked with charities in the past, including a project by one of our founders who recommended we work with them across the Newsmast tech stack.
We're proud to be working with them! 🧡
Just arrived on our store: New soft enamel pins featuring the #Mastodon logo. This time, they have a copper finish. However! I have to warn you there will be another enamel pin design up on the store this week, so if there's any chance you might want an alternative design or both, you may want to hold off on making orders for now to save on shipping.

I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉
Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.
“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the #fediverse is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms built by and for people like you, where #SocialSovereignty is a right and not a privilege.”
In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about #DigitalSovereignty, you must leave X and join the fediverse.
Today is the first ever WebSocialBR 🇧🇷
Online and on the ground in Brasília, the event has been put together by @rede
We've recently been working with the Brazilian Institute of Museums who will be in attendance and talking about our work together. Then, at 7pm GMT @evan & @j12t will be hosting a panel!
We hope that their hard work to grow the Social Web in Brazil culminates in wider adoption.
