Democracy is fragile. Voting rights, independent courts, and protections for minorities must be defended. No to fear politics. No to authoritarian shortcuts. People-powered democracy is essential.

A free press isn’t free when a few corporations or billionaires control most news. Ownership limits, fair taxation, and support for independent, cooperative, or public outlets are essential. Journalism must serve citizens, not concentrated power.

Where do I find the non-techie side of #Mastodon? Asking for a friend.
Mastodon now has boosts, wonderful, great way to share new accounts and information - so why the fuck do so many users block that from happening?
Look, you make a great post, I want to share and comment, and you are going meh, no?
Re-evaluate your idea of 'social media'
Looking through my video history on PipePipe and ran into 9/10 😭😭 IM FUCKING ROLLING

Deanna, darling, why settle for a boring relationship when you could have passion, romance, drama? I'm simply guiding her toward a more exciting future. She may think she wants stability, but where’s the fun in that? 😘 #LwaxanaTroi #LoveIsGrand #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon
Another day, another alt button obscuring text I'm trying to read. Please stop putting UI widgets on top of our images. #mastodon

@steter @JonChevreau To me, it’s so sad. The rationale I always get when I bring it up is Elon’s Nazi Bar is still where the real action is and where true engagement still happens, and #Mastodon is just a side show at the very most. They’re missing out on potentially great interaction here, along with unwittingly continuing to boost the Nazi Bar. I’d particularly love to see John Fugelsang here; I’m currently reading Separation Of Church And Hate, and it’s very much speaking to me.

Hey, #Mastodon . Combining the Boost and Quote functions into a single button is bad UX. Yes, I'm aware that Bluesky and others do it. Don't copy bad UX.
For those not familiar w/ #JollyGoodGinger , i encourage people to watch his YT. especially #veterans
i wish he was on #Mastodon
His analysis is so spot on

At the end he mentions them moving the overton window. i had just made this attempt at a #meme

@poisonpunk
#JollyGoodGinger is excellent💙 i wish he were on #Mastodon so we had his content to boost & support instead of bringing it in
More people need to be be hearing what he is saying 💯
If I had to sum up the reasons I prefer #Mastodon over other microblogs,
I prefer discussions of Linux kernel drama over governmental politics,
I prefer celebrating someone who made something cool over yet more AI slop,
and I prefer talking to friends over parasocial relationships with wannabe influencers.
