Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb
We’re excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Here’s a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!)

The Return of the #Plushtodon! (at the end of November, anyway...)
RE: Public communications (via platforms like Mastodon) are much too important to be in the hands of a handful of commercial Big Tech companies. Our team continues to engage in active discussions on these topics. We aim to help media associations to diversify their distribution by encouraging them to join the Fediverse. View quoted note →
We're excited to announce that @npub168yq...upza has joined the fediverse! Their innovative implementation of ActivityPub allows you to follow updates from your favorite apps, demonstrating a new way to bring more apps to the open social web. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their generous donation, in support of our mission to create an open and safe social internet. Welcome to the fediverse family, AltStore! #Mastodon #Fediverse #AltStore
We’re thrilled to be bringing you a upcoming feature to help you find your people on Mastodon: Packs. (Or something… we’re still figuring out the name.) As always, we want to build this important feature for the community WITH the community. Read this blog post about our approach and let us know what you think!
In June, we proposed new Terms of Service for registered users of on our mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers. We did not do enough to consider the full impact of the terms, and the community was very clear that we needed to reconsider. We've done that over the past few months. Today, we're posting an alternative set of terms, along with an opportunity for the community to provide feedback.
