It's also not fully federated (not only now, but also publicly stated as a long-term policy), which is clearly stated at https://joinmastodon.org/covenant as a Covenant-incompatible policy.
Hey @mike, in your Mediumยฎ post, you stated that both your @Flipboard#Mastodon server and your proprietary webapp have "signed on to the Mastodon server covenant". But https://joinmastodon.org/covenant is very clear that limited federation, such as your new server is doing, is incompatible with the covenant.
Does your employer Dewey/WPP (and/or its clients) have any financial stake in or relationship with Meta or its affiliates?

Everyone deserves #privacy. The United Nations even codified it as a human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

๐๐ฝ Hi #MastoArt folks. Forgive my intrusion into your hashtag. I'm hoping to find creative folks who might be interested in a commission to do a few digital illustrations for an installation of the Mastodon web UI software.
๐จ Does anyone know of some leads? Would be great if they use open source tools like Krita or Inkscape. Thanks in advance!

โฃ๏ธ "Tax prep companies shared private taxpayer data with #Google and #Meta for years, congressional probe finds"
:google: #Google exec on their new "#Health#AI Chatbot" says he "wouldnโt want it to be a part of his own familyโs #healthcare journey" but the fledgling tech "can be particularly helpful in countries with more limited access to doctors".
๐ก In other words, sketchy health tech is fine to test on poor and brown people.
๐ฐ Google's market cap could easily fund high quality healthcare facilities in every low income country.
We have some FLOSS-focused nonprofits on our instance. As long as their intention is not overly commercial their application would probably pass our review.
๐บ๐ธ The US job market is really mind-blowing in that it was easier to find tech industry jobs that were remote before the pandemic, than it is now.
Even though so many people learned how to do it well.
