Idea: "The unbillionaires list", to promote contributors to the common.
A collaborative website that lists people who created something useful to millions but purposedly choose to put in in the common and didn’t earn money directly from it (or not as much as expected)
Besides those listed in https://ploum.net/2026-01-22-why-no-european-google.html
I would add Henri Dunant (Red Cross, he died in great poverty), Didier Pittet (who invented the hydroalcoolic gel we now use everyday).

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@staff if it weren't for all the sport bots that jam the feed it'd have been cool to keep seeing it

@staff to be fair one can say the same about the Trending feed, in the sense that it features a pretty homogeneous side of Mastodon that focuses on the same subjects over and over (e.g. exclusive focus on U.S. issues, technology, cats when people have other pets or none at all, etc.) and this can discourage people with more varied interests or lived experiences beyond that. We should be encouraging more diversity of interests beyond those things. The Trending feed does not sufficiently do that, despite the lack of an algorithm.
(this is kind of tangential to my earlier point about moderation, but I still feel it is worth mentioning)

Una nuova casa per la FAT!
@anarchia
Una nuova casa per la FAT! Tutti conoscono la sede anarchica di corso Palermo 46. Siamo lì dal lontano 1982. Un luogo di incontro tra compagni e compagne che condividono la prospettiva di un mondo di libere ed eguali, senza...Vedi l'articolo

@untilted We certainly do, but the live feeds on mastodon.social are things posted in the last few seconds, it is essentially a pre-moderation view.
It is neither the best way for newcomers to find their community, nor much use to many established users. If people want to drink straight from the firehose, they can, but we do not recommend it.

@staff I use to use the everything everywhere feed, but more like how one views an extremely fast moving river, it was for watching it all scroll by and not really absorb.

@staff Surely you can provide a better experience on your server by moderating the users who regularly post spam and other offending content on the live feeds a little better instead of having to resort to disabling the live feeds...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@staff/115849914607258480
As previously announced, live feeds are now disabled on our servers by default.
We don't think they provide a good experience on our server, but feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to still see them.
