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.

A Mastodon surrounded by flames, with bulging eyes - "This is fine"

@Mastodon You need to convince the politicians that #Mastodon is not a “rage bait” social network, as some states in the United States 🇺🇸 will require ALL public social networks to place a warning label on their content if the site has residents who use the platform.

𝕏 is fighting this pending bill in New York 🗽, but California has already enacted this as law: https://x.com/darnell/status/1996692368028839983

@darnell @Mastodon From the bill, "Additionally, as this bill covers only social media
platforms that deploy addictive features such as algorithmic feeds, push
notifications, autoplay, infinite scroll, and like counts, any platform
not wishing to display a warning label could simply limit their use of
these features." https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4505
