Mastodon rejects funding to preserve nonprofit status https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/12/twitter-rival-mastodon-rejects-funding-to-preserve-nonprofit-status/

I'm seeing lots of posts from journalists saying "We journalists will never stick around on Mastodon unless we get this or that feature that makes it more like Twitter".

I'm OK with that. Journalists are welcome not to stick around. No-one's forcing them to be here. I'm happy just to share the space with my friends. Not being broadcast to is, if anything, a feature.

Can #Mastodon / #fediverse avoid the corporate capture that often follows mass participation?

Are you having fun on Mastodon?

Gentle Reminder 💚🐘:

✅​ If you wish to warn your own audience about a topic that you deem disturbing, annoying, spoilers, and so on, DO use Content Warnings to wrap your own toots. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109282181601490676

✅​ If you do not wish to see toots about certain topics in your own timelines, DO use Filters to hide these toots for yourself. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323462169819778

❌​ But DO NOT, tell people in reply they should hide their own toots!

Respect what others wish to toot about.

You have the options to use Filters, Mute, Unfollow, Block, and even Report if a toot is breaking the Server’s Rules.

Stay kind and let others use their own voice 💚

Now for the bad news:

As the military industrial complex continues to feast, the expansion of the Child Tax Credit that went into effect for 2021 was not included in the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill.

Endless money for war. No money for hungry kids or working families.
