@hpod16 I forgot, how could I!!!

DOES NOT sell YOUR DATA, TRACK or MONITOR YOU!And it's VERY unlikely that it will be taken over by fascists!
@BrennpunktUA @hpod16 Even if Mastodon itself does not sell, track or monitor - anyone could (since it's all out in the open as you stated before. No need for an account even.)
And I beg to differ about the likeliness of a take over by "fascists"/malicious actors. Not as in server take over, but in "join and spam" or "join and deceive"-runs, the operation financed by e.g. big tech
I think that WILL happen when Mastodon reaches a critical mass, and the @Mastodon developers need to be prepared.

Here's my first Mastodon post!
My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse? -
@hpod16 It's easy. If European politicians start posting on fediverse first, X last or not at all, journalists will follow, and other people too.

@djoerd thank you!

@kallekn
Well, here's a start: @HennaVirkkunenThis is the account of the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, on the official EC instance.
More to come? we'll see...

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?likely the same way as during the last 30 years: If enough "big players" move to a new social network, their peer groups will also move.
Main problem for marketing in the Fediverse:
no amplifying algorithms
no ads you can buyAnd we like to talk and discuss a lot, and perhaps you can sell a thing you create, because people are interested, but "BUY MY SHINY PRODUCT" doesn't work well.

@SteveThompson good morning and thanks for the music!
Refreshing that YouTube embeds over here... I remember when Facebook used to do this.

@gagagoogle @Mastodon
But how? How can developers prepare for a fascist take-over?
Better mod services? Algorithms that don't polarise? What else? -

@hpod16 @HennaVirkkunen Yes, a very good start, even though the instance name is a bit clunky and bureaucratic.

I only just realised I haven't seen a single ad on here yet! How refreshing.I think Marketing is a problem. No big company behind Mastodon means no big marketing budget, means less people hear about the company.
I'm doing my bit, spreading by word of mouth.
Everytime I see someone complain that there is no European Social media in the comments sections of the EU accounts, I point them to the EC Mastodon. It's a start, but you need celebrities on board, really.

@milesizdead @nihkeys
I'm still discovering hashtags - trying to find a good balance between my professional and personal interests.
Video games aren't really my thing but I like #DnD and #TTRPGs and those seem pretty well represented -
@SteveThompson good morning and thanks for the music!

It is a much more positive experience here. Enjoy!

We're starting a movement in Denmark to spread the word and help more people find a place here. Our goal is to create collectively owned instances. We've started a couple of instances, made a web-page and are working on films in danish to promote the Fediverse.

It could be hindered if there was more possibilities for server-owners to identify bad actors on their servers.Since moderation is not cheap. It could instead be done with help from the users, by adding a "report abuse"-button to each post. Any user could then flag any post.
The server-owner should be able to mark some users as "trustworthy" giving their abuse-reports some sort of priority and the opposite too, "untrustworthy" for users who abuse this reporting system.

@macfranc sarei curioso di vedere la concentrazione di utenti nelle istanze italofone

@sabrinaweb71 sì, prima si inizia e meglio è. Naturalmente con l'ottica di iniziare subito col piede giusto e non, per esempio, legandosi mani e piedi da qualche nuovo monopolista tedesco o francese.

@emanuelecariati un lavoro fantastico

@imp3tuz well damn. that sucks.

@jan I hadn't considered this point of view: scanning it means it exists. In case of problems, you need to provide the original, signed one. Yes, it makes sense.
