Voici un tuto pas à pas pour la prise en main de Mastodon destiné à mes contacts Facebook. Je le mets ici pour quand j'aurai disparue de Facebook  

Il n'y a pas d'explications sur le fonctionnement global de Mastodon et le Fediverse puisque d'autres guides très bien faits existent déjà, comme celui ci par exemple : https://blog.professeurjoachim.com/billet/2018-12-05-un-guide-rapide-de-mastodon

Un guide rapide de Mastodon

Pourquoi cet article ? En 2018, qu’un ami m’a demandé comment ça marche, donc au lieu de le diriger vers un article existant, je lui ai écrit …

"Adoro quando os jornalistas fornecem contexto ao relatar notícias.

O anúncio de Mastodon ocorre em um momento em que o projeto de código aberto WordPress e seu co-fundador estão envolvidos em uma disputa legal de meses, e Zuckerberg, da Meta, fez manchetes por retirar a verificação de fatos e a moderação de conteúdo do Facebook e do Instagram antes de mentir sobre isso para Joe Rogan.

Love it when journalists provide context when reporting news. "Mastodon’s announcement comes at a time when the WordPress open-source project and its cofounder have been embroiled in a months-long legal feud, and Meta’s Zuckerberg has made headlines for stripping back Facebook and Instagram’s fact-checking and content moderation before lying about it to Joe Rogan." https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/13/24342603/mastodon-non-profit-ownership-ceo-eugen-rochko #mastodon #news #TechNews #MastodonNonprofit

No billionaires will be telling us what to do, or what we can't do… but will that be enough to get more users on board?

The people should own the town square

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 social web, not corporate control.

Purr-fect timing! Mastodon is making sure no single person holds all nine lives of the platform 😺 Transitioning to a European nonprofit structure means community ownership trumps CEO control. Because the best social networks are like cat colonies - decentralized and community-led! #MastodonNonProfit #DecentralizedSocial

Mastodon Announces Transition To Nonprofit Structure - Slashdot

i guess, with chemo brain, i hadn't reckoned Germany’s tax court (?) revoked Mastodon’s non-profit status and that’s why they incorporated in the USA. so creating this new NPO will ensure they are under DE & EU jurisdictions. this is good and absolutely necessary.

BTW i’ve often pondered: wouldn't it be great to have a United Nations jurisdiction for FLOSS
