@Gargron@mastodon.social Hello founder of #Mastodon,
Does this platform --and do you-- stand unequivocally against the Zionist holocaust in #Gaza / @palestine@a.gup.pe and thus condemn its perpetrators, accomplices and supporters in the strongest possible terms?
In other words: Does #NeverAgain mean never again [ #genocide ] by and against anyone for you and the Mastodon company?
Otherwise, it would be a crime to wear this logo, and people deserve to make an informed decision before promoting Mastodon in any way.

Just arrived on our store: New soft enamel pins featuring the #Mastodon logo. This time, they have a copper finish. However! I have to warn you there will be another enamel pin design up on the store this week, so if there's any chance you might want an alternative design or both, you may want to hold off on making orders for now to save on shipping.

Look, I have a new pin, and it's Mastodon!
Yes, it's getting out of hand. Yes, I'll continue adding more.

really, really impressed with posty: a mastodon archive -> html static site generator
it ingests your mastodon archive (post history) as a zip, and barfs out an entire static html site with indices and tags. all servable with any standard web server.
this is super helpful because when i shut down the dialup.cafe instance, there was no easy way to get access to my old posts and images.
it can either be run online here:

or instructions here for running it locally:

I think it would've been easy to throw the #Mastodon logo at some print-on-demand website and be done with it, but I've always wanted Mastodon merch to be something bespoke, something you'd genuinely want to keep for years. This is why I chose the difficult path: Manually finding suppliers, prototyping, ordering in advance and distributing through our own shop. It's a lot of work, which is why it tends to happen as individual "drops" rather than a continuous, all year round stock.

I think you should do a more full text message and assume people don't know what Mastodon is. Once you are printing a shirt you might as well use the space!
Mastodon - social media done better
✅ Not billionaire owned
✅ Actually Federated - like email
✅ Rules enforced by each owner - not evil!
✅ No algorithm & your data is not sold
✅ Alt text that gets used
✅ Safer

I left mainstream platforms completely burned out and found the fediverse, and god it felt like I could finally breathe again without someone tracking every single thing I did.
But even here I kept wondering who actually protects my data when someone comes asking for it, and I realized I didn't want to trust anyone else with that answer.
So I run https://goingdark.social now because I wanted that certainty for myself and my community. When someone demands data or tries to shut down what we talk about, I'm the one who gets to say no and take whatever comes with that.
I pay for this out of pocket because it matters to me, and your admin is probably doing the same thing, maybe a father of three running a server from his home office, a single mom keeping her community safe between work shifts, an older gentleman who remembers what the internet used to feel like before corporations owned everything.
That's how this whole thing works, regular people running small spaces because they care, all of us building something no single company or government can control. We're doing this together and every small instance matters.
Support your local instance admin however you can. They're keeping this alive for all of us.

We have a mailing list that we put on our blog whenever we announce some new merch is being worked on. Roughly half of the plushies have been sold before we posted about it on #Mastodon, just from that mailing list (and people checking the shop manually, I guess). And those new sticker sheets got sold out fully (but are being restocked, hopefully within the week).

.@Gargron@mastodon.social por mi te puedes ir lejos y no volver-
#Mastodon no es mas que otra red de las redes del fediverso que desaparecerá y surgiran de nuevas al lado de las que ya hay, mastodon se metió en el fediverse, siendo una calcomania de Twitter y wsin #GNUsocial nunca hubiera sido nada, sin el #fediverse y ahora parece ser segun ustedes que mastodon hizó al fediverse y NO-
#fediverse >> https://fediverse.party/
Mastodon solo es un pedacito del fediverse-
No se dice eso en las migraciones

@Gargron@mastodon.social thank you, for indeed "The #fediverse (i.e. #Mastodon) is an island within an increasingly dystopian capitalist hellscape." Letting go of your baby is never easy, and I, like many, wish you well!

You are correct that #Mastodon and #Fediverse success has lifted a huge responsibility to "sanitize" what is the internet today.
Can I ask if you personally have a desire to advocate for a foundation type of organization that will work as a Non Government organization and lend your expirience and all the people who have worked around the Fediverse and FOSS, in order to create better legislation? Have you spoke about this before and I missed it?

Hi everyone,
I had video chats with three people and families from Gaza today and I’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Yazzan (@yazzangaza@mastodon.world)
• Hadi (@HadiSamir@mastodon.social)
• Abeer (@mmotherps@mastodon.world)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can. (And please share this so others might do the same.)
And remember that you can see the fundraisers of all our members in a single list (ordered by those who have received the fewest donations in the last seven days) at:
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mellifluousbox/115569615176946969
I am passing the torch to @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social who will be the new Executive Director. Felix has been involved with #Mastodon since 2020 and has been instrumental in evolving the organization, raising funds, and growing the team to get us to where we are now. With @haubles@hachyderm.io and @renchap@oisaur.com by his side, and the team we have assembled over the years, I have faith that the new leadership will do a stellar job.
