Phanpy and GoToSocial is a killer combination.
GoToSocial has some great privacy controls, but has no front end by default. https://gotosocial.org
Phanpy, the alternative Mastodon web client, looks really sleek. https://phanpy.social
And it seems pretty easy to run them side by side.
Our app may be 15 years old, but our values are timeless. They’re rooted in first principles that don’t change every four years.
We’re still here for you.

Because of X and Meta fucking things up once again, people are talking about abandoning social media, because there are no corporate free alternatives. Right.
I just want to take a moment to call out one particularly great contributor to the Fediverse, @dansup (aka @dansup@mastodon.social) and just say that Pixelfed and Loops are just great. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are!
If you want to know about Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org) or Loops (https://loops.video) check out their respective websites and send your props to Dan!

If you read Peter Pomerantsev in the Observer today, you'll find some support for the position set out over the last couple of days in response to an earlier post; that the Fediverse is a viable competing space for social media where the problems of the Musk/Zuckerberg controlled social media could be countered by example & practice.... this is also the strategy that Pomerantsev is promoting.
No mention of Mastodon but we can infer this is what he means!

"Stopping a company you distrust from profiting off your personal data shouldn’t require tinkering with hidden settings and installing browser extensions. Instead, your data should be private by default. That’s why we need strong federal privacy legislation that puts you—not Meta—in control of your information.
Without strong privacy legislation, Meta will keep finding ways to bypass your privacy protections and monetize your personal data. Privacy is about more than safeguarding your sensitive information—it’s about having the power to prevent companies like Meta from exploiting your personal data for profit."

Pet peeve about the #RedNote thing (besides the fact it's not really it's name)
For goodness sakes 小红书’s name is not in reference to Mao's little red book. Just because Westerners call that "little red book", doesnt mean the Chinese called it that. It's not a direct translation la. (For one, calling anything 小 “small” diminishes it's importance so why would the Chinese do that wei? In Chinese Mao's book is called 红宝书 (Hong Bao Shu) "The Red Treasure Book" or formally, 《毛主席语录》 (Mao Zhuxi Yulu) Quotations from Chairman Mao.
Chinese people just like to label everything red, ok? It's our most auspicious colour. It's lucky. Our hong paos are red. Our wedding dresses are red. Red is everywhere during Chinese New Year. This had been like this for thousands of years before the CPC. Alrighty?
Nah you guys won't believe me anyway why do I bother typing this 😆
Madison and Nashville School Shooters Appear to Have Crossed Paths in Online Extremist Communities
—
A month after a student opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School, another killed a classmate at Antioch High School. Both were active in an internet subculture that glorifies mass shooters and encourages young people to commit attacks.

Starting to feel like this 2025 Influx of users is much larger than 2022 Influx of users. New users come in huge waves. Many of them also seem to genuinely like Mastodon according to the feedback. In 2022 many tried, soon gave up and left to Bluesky or back to X. Today, many have even deleted their commercial accounts and settled here.
I like this new development of things. Seeing new faces and more cat photos bring me so much joy. Thanks for being here. Remember that you matter.

Capitulation to the tyrant:
#Meta agreed to pay $25M to settle #Trump lawsuit alleging #censorship
Meta settled a lingering 2021 lawsuit brought by Trump who alleged the #tech giant improperly suspended his #SocialMedia accounts after the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
#MarkZuckerberg told investors during an earnings call Wed that Trump’s recent election gave the company a new opportunity to rewrite its fraught relationship w/the American govt.
