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

Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.

Elon Musk's X bans European Commission from making ads after €120m fine

The EU regulator had fined the social media platform over its "deceptive" blue tick badges.

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.

Big tech thrives on division. Mastodon thrives with you. Here, you’ll find local journalists 📰, libraries 📚, and grassroots movements, all sharing space on their own terms. Stand with us for a social web that amplifies voices, not outrage. Support us to keep Mastodon community-powered. ​Donate #SupportMastodon
