Mastodon reminds me a lot of Twitter ~12 years ago. It has some rough edges and is disproportionately populated by tech industry folks, but also no algorithm, no ads, no tracking, and is actually fun.
🚨🚨🚨

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉

Elon Musk both-sidesing literal nazism.
If we ended industrial animal agriculture, there'd suddenly be more than enough food for everyone, we'd essentially end animal cruelty, no one would die, and we'd take a huge bite out of the climate and ecological emergency. We could do this basically overnight.
This is the Metaverse they should have been building all along.

Mental health issues are raising exponentially with young people.. Mastodon has build-in all kinds of features like blocking, muting filters etc and ‘non-features’ like constantly showing numbers everywhere on timelines, profiles etc.

Please know that #Mastodon is a safe place to talk about mental health. Talking about it can really help, we do not judge we only want to help♥️

If we can contribute even the slightest in battling this issue I say we should! Together!  

During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)

Maybe @gretathunberg can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's why she's here. So far, outside of verification, she's just cross posted from twitter, something bots already do, and I'm sure she knows that her Twitter has better reach

I think she's joined as a way of endorsing the platform and helping it grow because it's more in line with her ideals, the same reason many of us joined. I never expected to effectively reach people here when I registered, I just wanted to help build something new, and I imagine she's trying to do the same

A system that doesn't address the needs for climate justice and securing human rights is a system that has failed everyone – we need to keep both in mind.
Human rights and climate movements are stronger when we stand in solidarity together. Then we can also successfully push those in power to live up to significantly increased adaptation finance and immediately, drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions. There is no climate justice without social justice and human rights.
