Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design.

In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re 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. 🌈

A better web is possible - and it's powered by the people. Donate #SupportMastodon

Four colourful cartoon mastodons stand together on grass, each with a speech bubble. The illustration shows diverse voices speaking up and building something together.

You guys get an annual donation from me, for doing absolutely bang-up work making a wonderful social network and experience. It'd be nice if I could donate through an open-source payment platform!

Nonsense! There certainly are ads. Lots of them, all kinds of. But you can’t pay to force your ads on anybody who does not want to see them.

Federation is pointless for networks where an instance has way more users than the rest: it becomes a target for governments and baddies.

Until it's taken care of, this toot is just a weak donation plea. Mastodon.social should no longer get recommended by any Mastodon client or website (I would say it should even close new sign ups too) and people should donate to their instance admins instead.

Don't forget to support the instance/server you belong to. Not everyone is a member of Social.

glad to see some messages straight from the org itself, my experience with the fediverse has been a little nebulous so far but,

I just wanna say thank you so much for creating an alternative to corporate social media which plans on creating a future where entire populations can be exterminated, for profit, like the Palestinians, and no one will hear them scream.

That is quite seriously the world these people want for us and we will never be safe until they can no longer control
