Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page. We've used community feedback and surveys to inform these updates. In our latest blog post, @imanijoy explains our design thinking and choices. Here are a few highlights 🧵

A Redesign for Profiles

Sharing the design thinking for the new look coming to profile pages.

Mastodon Blog

The problem with Meta’s business model is that they’re beholden to shareholders, not their community. We are not publicly traded, we are publicly FUNDED.

Mastodon has no incentive to keep you addicted. Our incentive is to make you happy, and help you build friendships, because it’s the right thing to do for you, and it's the right thing to do for humanity.

If you believe in a better way forward for our digital social spaces, please help support us by donating: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#donate

Yesterday, a court in New Mexico ruled that Meta is guilty of failing to protect children from sexual exploitation and harmful content. Meta's spokesperson responded, “we respectfully disagree with the verdict and will appeal.”

@zuck @mosseri - I'd appeal to you to stop exploiting people to line your pockets directly, but it's clear that the empire you've built by getting people addicted to your products has left you out of touch with reality.

I just visited the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS and noticed that they have a @Mastodon icon / link in their social media navigation bar in the upper right side of the screen.

This is simply AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for being here on the #fediverse and for raising awareness about it with your website visitors ❤️

@EUCommission can you please be next? I argued for this in my latest article: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/

Dot Social Is Back

Today we’re launching the third season of Dot Social. Over the course of eight interviews, Flipboard founder and CEO Mike McCue invites guests to share the open social projects they’re working on, obstacles and opportunities they’ve encountered and how they hope to expand the ecosystem.

About Flipboard

#Baltic Friends!

I'm going to be travelling starting in #Helsinki and then working my way through #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania mid-June through mid-July this summer. While I expect most schools will be on vacation, I'm still looking for any interesting #UX groups/teams that I could visit. Please feel free to pass my name along to anyone.

Apparently, this is my 5000th Mastodon toot. And it’s a good one, from my trip to Ecuador in 2018. Cheers to all my mastodon friends for the inspiration, encouragement, knowledge, and fun you’ve brought to my time over here!
So yeah, I don't recommending killing the goose that lays the golden eggs... in other words, the humans, the community that does the real work in that system. 🪿🥚
