Your data. Your feed. Your control.
The fediverse was built on communities, not corporations, deciding how they interact.
The Digital Services Act now brings that same accountability to the rest of the web.

With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?

“At this historical moment, I’d value the fact that Mastodon is made in the #europeanunion. I’m a new user myself who joined as part of a Trump-led US boycott campaign, so I was looking for a #EU-made alternative—Mastodon seemed like the most structured one anyway.
#EU #buyeuropean we should follow the Canadians’ example #buycanadian”

"One person can't make a difference." Cool. Tell that to the millions who've already switched.

More and more people are standing for themselves and moving away from corporations that only see users as data entry points and walking dollar signs.
Looking for alternatives matters!

Germany and Italy are the latest countries to reject Donald Trump's invitation to his "Board of Peace," citing their nations' constitutions as the reason. Spain, France, the U.K., Sweden and Norway had already declined the offer, while Trump withdrew his invitation to Canada on his Truth Social platform yesterday. Here's more from @POLITICOEurope. At the second link, find NBC's breakdown of who's in, who's out, and who's on the fence.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist Trump says the main "enemies of the United States are not Russia and China. The greatest threat is the UN and NATO."
The United States founded the United Nations and #NATO. They are the bedrock of U.S. national security.
Trump is a Russian asset and traitor to the United States.
Amount of blood #US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood #Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of #NATO. Our allies deserve far better than the treasonous conduct of this administration.

Within a few days, six cables were damaged or even cut.
But the world was watching Washington, Venezuela and Greenland.
The paths and positions of the cable damages around New Years 2026 were to most of Estonia's internet backbone routes. Target was to cripple #Estonia connectivity.

🤔I thought "tilting at windmills" was just a saying! But here's Trump, doing it sincerely, talking about "China has no wind farms!"🤷🏿♂️
When Trump spewed hate at Black people it was supposed to be funny. Everyone joked along.
Now he spews hate at white people too, we're supposed to say it's serious?
2023:
👴🏻"Why are African nations so eager to trade with China? They're being foolish! They should be all in on the USA! Silly Africans! Poor decision making skills!"
2026:
👴🏻"We must decrease dependence on the US! They don't like us! We must strengthen our relationship with China! I am very smart!"🤡
Some of y'all ask me, in all seriousness, why some African nations prefer to trade with China. Don't the African countries know that China is the "bad guys" and we are the "good guys?"
I think that these questions come from a fundamental inability to see the world from the perspective of Africans.
Western European nations, too, have plenty of delusions about their place in the world - what they imagine themselves to be and how they actually act, vs. how the many countries they have historically exploited actually see them.
I still support the #EuropeanUnion - it's been a tremendous boon to smaller European nations who have traditionally been on the receiving end of the Imperialism of the Great Powers.
But we are not the "shining beacon" of human rights and freedoms we imagine ourselves to be.
Our hope here is that the non-voters who stayed home in 2024 will join with the Republicans who thought they wouldn’t be harmed by #Trump, and both will join the liberals who never wanted any of this, to push Trump and his party out of power in the midterms.
Yes, there’s no guarantee, and yes it will be difficult, and YES it is worth striving for. Hopefully enough people will understand.
@mister_shade02X2 @jgg @gleick
And I wish them the best.
However, going forward the #EuropeanUnion must work with the assumption that #MAGA and #Trumpism are a permanent condition of the USA. The USA is not to be trusted, even if a Democratic candidate manages to get elected in the next election.
We thought that George W. Bush was an aberration, but we were wrong. We must not be fooled again.

"It's OK for North Korea to send troops to help Russia wage war in Europe.
It's "unthinkable" for Germany, France, Britain and Poland to have their soldiers stop Russia from waging war in Europe.
In what universe does this make sense?"
