Mastodon is now officially a "Digital Public Good" and as such a important peace of the UN "2030 Agenda" sustainable development goals. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/06/mastodon-dpga/ #DigitalPublicGood #UN #Agenda2030 #sustainability #digitalSovereignty #Mastodon

Introducing quote posts
Over the years, we’ve learned just how essential quoting is to many of you. Here's a deep dive on how quote posts will work on Mastodon.
I posted a cat picture yesterday on both, it got likes on mastodon and no likes on Bluesky, that says all you need to know!
what do you mean im your strongest soldier in the anti anime warsno one ever listens to me
I was always on the seat that says 'I don't actually care about social media but I hope that activity pub wins in the end'.
The main issue of Mastodon will forever be same thing that's also its strength, the way the instancing works.
I just don't think people are ever going to gel well with how things work when you look at a single post on an instance you are not on.
Like this just isn't a great user experience. And I don't think they can work around it on their end because it would mean some kind of centralization, and well, yeah.
Yeah you can work around it with browser extensions, but for most people the out of the box experience is the deal breaker.
Also the default UI is still really terrible, even the advanced interface is kind of bad.
I really hope ActivityPub wins in the end, but I have to say I really dislike the term fediverse.

I'll never not be amused of the utterly bizarre concept that is the Federated feed. Random posts, some guys beefing in Chinese, Germans complaining about random shit, porn, etc.
yes, that's the idea - posts from ALL the instances, but you can still filter them by language at least (it's in settings)
I could, but what's the fun in that!
Although I have witnessed shit I really wish I didn't see, but that's part of the adventure I guess.
yeah, i suppose, lol
although - i don't think many people use the federated feed, it's a much better idea to just follow hashtags instead (you can even follow a hashtag and have it displayed in your home feed instead of having to have it opened in another column/window/whatever)
I do have that set up for a couple of hashtags.yeah, i suppose, lol
I also lost my old account and had to continue with this one, sad.
I have not ever looked at live / trending

Yeah, but I accidentally deleted the 2FA set up for that, whoops.
i'll check
yeah, doesn't look like i can do anything - apparently you deleted the account (unlike other stuff - deleting an account on mastodon REALLY means deleting the account)
I really don't remember doing that lol but oh well, thanks for checking.
You're already did some days ago, I'm the frog guy with the Dale Cooper avataryeah, sorry man
let me know what your new one is so i can follow you again
that avatar should've tipped me off, i guessYou're already did some days ago, I'm the frog guy with the Dale Cooper avatar
but thanks 
enabled notifications for you now as well, woo
No prob. I might have accidentally closed the account tbh because I did close a bunch of them including my Discord account, I haven't been in the greatest headspace but I'm slowly recovering.that avatar should've tipped me off, i guess
Thanks for making a dedicated thread to one of my favorite bands.
you know, you really should get an account on mastodon, maybe on the MC instance even, to post your stuff, i bet people would love your coffee pics
