Federation isnβt just a feature, itβs how we reject oppression by design.
In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, weβre building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads.
Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. π

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 donβt forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it ππ½
weβll start:

The Oxford Word of the Year is "rage bait" π
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 isnβt about giving hate a megaphone, itβs about protecting the voices that need it most.π‘

Mastodonβs community-driven moderation proves we can foster open dialogue and safety, without algorithms or agendas.
