Our app is ~500MB on macOS. It could be 50MB. That’s a 10x shrink, but it means rebuilding from the ground up with Tauri.

Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design.

In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads.

Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. 🌈
