Mastodon

We have thought carefully about our approach to quote posts, and want to be transparent about our design process (and also, to explain why this is a little more complicated on Mastodon than for other platforms). Community experience, and open standards, are at the core of the experience for our implementation.

We shared the latest edition of our monthly engineering update, for January 2025. This post also briefly covers our experiences at FOSDEM, and the latest status of the Fediscovery (Fediverse Discovery Provider) project. https://lnkd.in/eW5w5UDc

Recently, CTO Renaud Chaput spoke to Au Poste all about Mastodon, our upcoming non-profit foundation, growth, and why independent social media is the better option for the future. (video and content in French)

It is nearly time for FOSDEM - the annual free and open source event in Brussels. We are getting ready for the event this weekend! The team will have a stand in building H. We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere! We are largely out of stock on our online merch store for now, but will be restocking at some point in 2025. We’ll be part of the FOSDEM Social Web track on Saturday, and will be talking about the NGI Search-supported Fediverse Discovery Providers #fediscovery project. https://lnkd.in/eEKXg2Rk You’ll also be able to find the team at Social Web After Hours on Sunday at HSBXL. https://lnkd.in/ejui7NVc

CTO Renaud Chaput spoke to Basta! about Mastodon's position in the social media landscape. https://lnkd.in/gzJpjyqP

CEO Eugen Rochko was interviewed on the TechCrunch #podcast about the current social media landscape, the broader #Fediverse, and the upcoming changes to Mastodon's organisation and governance.

It is more important than ever that the social web is not controlled by corporations. Today, Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised future. Join us!
