Sean has never written a piece with the intent to erase history, and he works incredibly hard to keep things accurate.
At #FediForum, @ben called out that he linked to the @ProPublica donation drive on #Mastodon, and that yielded more donations than any other social media promotion on other platforms by the official account.
Huge.
We've seen hints of how the #Fediverse can have a positive impact on newsrooms, but this is the most tangible proof I've personally seen so far.
@tchambers As someone who's been lucky enough to work with him - @mike is truly passionate about @Flipboard's mission to federate the right way. Very excited about all the work they're getting done there.
Your favorite social network could make decisions that make it impossible to use the service where you live. If that happens, you lose not only access to the site but, more importantly, the community you worked so hard to build.

Some personal news: For the last couple of months, I've been an advisor to @subclub - a new Fediverse platform for paid subscriptions! The team is next-level talented and share my vision for bringing everyone to the open social web.
I'm so excited to be part of this mission to help fund instance owners and also usher in creators from closed platforms to ones where they own their audience and their content, while sharing across numerous platforms.
I'm also honored to be one of the first people to have a @subclub 🤩! Check out @quillmatiq@sub.club to become a premium subscriber! I'll be sharing projects I'm working on, giving you early access to them, and more.
Absolutely no pressure to subscribe, but your support would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼 (3/3)

@BeAware And with their latest update, you can follow Fediverse users *without* needing to federate - you only need to federate if you want to engage. It's a really cool way to let people dip their toes into this world without needing to fully commit on day one.
