#Mastodon

Understanding what makes a social platform a community isn't straightforward. I'm very far from a sociologist, so I'm probably not the right person to ask, but as we look at growing the Social Web I think it's an important question. How do we help platforms become more?

There's a woman on TikTok who is using daily engagement to pay off her debt.

People are coming together to interact with her videos, as well as directly donating, to help her pay it off.

Thanks to the community on TikTok, she's getting thousands of dollars daily and has just been able to pay off her credit card.

I know in this space we often talk about the harms of platforms like TikTok, but I think anyone with a heart can recognise how amazing this is. Users of the app are utilising its profit making system for GOOD!

My hope is that, when the Social Web is in a place to support creators financially, these same morals will be at the forefront of the culture we create.

It's Media Liberation Day and we’re a part of the Media Revolution!

Introducing Mo-Me… 📲

We've been working with @MediaRevolution to design a Mastodon-powered social app that puts community and connection first. A real action for real change.

Following the Media Revolution ethos, Mo-Me will give its users the chance to meet others who believe in the future of independent media.

Hi All,

Here's my #introduction post here on Mo-Me! I'm one of your moderators and have been on the Fediverse in some for or another for since 2016-17.

I'm a former/recovering professional journalist turned digital marketer and podcast host/producer.

I'm across the pod in the Philadelphia-Metro area. So hello 5hrs earlier than you guys in the UK!

I'm mostly active here: @phillycodehound so follow me here and there to get the full PCH experience! 😝

Happy #MediaRevolutionDay!

#Introduction

I'm a moderator here on Mo-Me, but my main account is @lexicaleigh so do feel free to follow me there, too!

I joined Mastodon in 2022 having become disillusioned with the state of social media, and I can honestly say I've not once regretted that decision. The #Fediverse is by far and away the kindest, most helpful, friendliest place on the internet I've ever known. So come join us on #MediaRevolution day!
