Surprised the official Mastodon app doesn’t support pinned posts 🤔
Oh well… back to the other apps for lurking.
That's a good question. Maybe slightly related to that, I've noticed in the past when I have (verbally) mentioned the "Fediverse", some people either straight-up thought they heard "Metaverse," or heard "#Fediverse" but assumed it was the same as the #Metaverse, or maybe a kind of Metaverse.
Granted, that has died down a bit, what with the Metaverse hype subsiding (the stans appear to have all moved on to "AI" now 🙂).
These days, I find that I typically just say "Oh yeah I don't use any of that [Facebook/Twitter/...] anymore because [insert reasons here], I'm on #Mastodon", and then follow that up with explanations about what that is, and related platforms, if the time is right.
Even the oldest of Gen-Z remembers getting to the end of the feed.
We tend to forget that this is not only a Gen-X and Gen-Y thing. Time sure moves fast, eh? Let's make the best of it now with healthier communities.😀

Tonight I'll be celebrating #ilovefs with the Portuguese community (and you can too!), but until then...

These two are free software apps that, during this year, I felt thankful for existing, so today I want to send an heartfelt thanks to their maintainers!

But if we're focusing on maintainers, then I must send special hearts to the maintainers these two, who have had tough challenges during this year (and need our support and strength for 2026).
I suppose the PMPC campaign started and is maintained by @fsfe (thanks!) but one of the beauties of it is how it has grown, and it is nowadays part of the public discourse. We see political parties refer to the term. We see position papers and even law proposals referring to it. We see open consultation submissions by non-tech entities mentioning it. More than a campaign, it is now a concept, a movement, an ideal. So thanks to all of you that keep saying: "Public Money? Public Code!"
💘 And of course, my love to all the free software I kept using in my daily life, things would be difficult without it (and their maintainers): ssh, telnet, vim, gvim, botany, git, konsole, @firefox, @ubuntu, @libreoffice, #mastodon, @element and many, many more!
💕 💞 🥰😍😘💌💝💓💟❤️🔥🩷🧡💛💚
#mastodon world! Are you a #progressive that wants to help bring a better #democracy to #government at all levels?
I’m looking for folks to help me #mobilize from afar to support our #PEI #NDP #provincial team with making socials, making phone calls, and whatever else we can do from where we are.
If you’re interested - shoot me a note!

☕️ Que este nuevo día sea una oportunidad para la observación clara y el pensamiento estructurado.
El café, tomado con calma, nos permite sincronizar el ritmo interno con el mundo que nos rodea antes de sumergirnos en la actividad. Que la jornada transcurra bajo el signo del rigor y la búsqueda de la verdad en cada pequeño detalle que la realidad nos presenta.
Mantened la curiosidad despierta y el juicio sereno. ✨ ¡Bendiciones para todo el #Fediverso!

I don't have access to the study but if they only compared Bluesky and X that's not very scientific. They should have included at least #Mastodon!
Sehr interessanter Beitrag in Arte.tv: über Avatare und all die Möglichkeiten, die uns Avatare im Internet bieten.
Der im Doku als Erkärerzähler gezeigte Protagonist versteht nur zwei Kategorien von Usern nicht:
1. die die Klarnamen ihre reale Person benutzen und
2. die die gar keine Identität verwenden.
