We appreciate that certain politicians have recently admitted their naivete in entrusting the voices of their governments to corporate / for-profit social media.
To these politicians, we say:
Weβre taking another step in building a sustainable financial base as a non-profit. Today, weβre announcing new hosting and support offerings, tailored for larger organisations and public institutions. These enable organisations to own their social identities, on their own infrastructure.
This is available to people on mastodon.online and mastodon.social now! π coming soon to other servers, when version 4.5 becomes available.
You can also find details of how to control your posts, via the animations in the blog and documentation.
Note: we've got an additional channel to send us feedback listed at the end of the blog post, if you'd like to share thoughts on this feature.

Today, weβre ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. Weβve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week π¬ Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5
We were delighted that @npub13za5...8j89 from the Mastodon team was the featured keynote speaker on day 2 of #FrOSCon this year.
Andy spoke about the importance of the #Fediverse and of decentralisation in order to preserve digital freedom and sovereignty.
It was a big weekend for the Mastodon team at #FrOSCon in Germany.
If you're curious what we've been working on and what's coming up, as well as updates across the #Fediverse more broadly, @npub1jcpp...927t provided an update in his talk, "Taking a Fresh Look at the Fediverse".
Fun fact: David was also one of the founding organisers of FrOSCon!
With the launch of Ghost 6.0, every publication that runs on Ghost becomes part of the #fediverse. You can follow and comment on Platformer or 404 Media articles without leaving your Mastodon feed. This is the future of social media.
Congratulations to @npub1d2v7...0l89 and all the team at Ghost!
Over the next few days, people that have accounts on mastodon.social and mastodon.online may see a donation banner in our official mobile apps. Here's the background on this small message.
