   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. 🌈

     @Mastodon You guys get an annual donation from me, for doing absolutely bang-up work making a wonderful social network and experience. It'd be nice if I could donate through an open-source payment platform!

     @Mastodon Nonsense! There certainly are adds. Lots of them, all kinds of. But you can’t pay to force your adds on anybody who does not want to see them.

     @Mastodon while you are building something different, could you please invest a bit of effort in the client application quality? Like fixing the “home” button navigation that gets broken every other release… maybe adding some unit tests here and there, you know, making users hate the app less..

     Mastodon.

     @Mastodon glad to see some messages straight from the org itself, my experience with the fediverse has been a little nebulous so far but,

     I just wanna say thank you so much for creating an alternative to corporate social media which plans on creating a future where entire populations can be exterminated, for profit, like the Palestinians, and no one will hear them scream.

     That is quite seriously the world these people want for us and we will never be safe until they can no longer control
