#Introduction: I started building #worlds on the #internet nearly 30 years ago. I’m an expert in #AR, #VR, #AI, and #ARGs.

Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.

I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection

Grateful for #mastodon and my new home toad.social. 💙🙏🇺🇸🏴‍☠️

@wdlindsy I wanted to say "thank you" for all your efforts to consume and pass along the news and commentary relevant to our current political moment. You do a great job!

If it weren't for you (and @heidilifeldman and @KimPerales and @Nonilex...), the Fediverse would be a much less informed and aware community.

You all are beacons of light and truth, and much appreciated!

Do you want Mastodon to automatically hide certain kinds of posts?

Or do you want Mastodon to automatically place certain kinds of posts behind a content warning that you can click open?

You can do both of these things by using Mastodon's filters feature. Filters lets you automatically hide posts with particular words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji in them. More info on how to create and use filters in the guide at:

➡️ fedi.tips/filtering-your-timel…

If you're looking for accounts to follow, you might like to check out my other account FediFollows:

➡️ @FediFollows

It regularly posts themed lists of good accounts to follow, and it also has a website with thousands of recommended accounts sorted into topics:

➡️ fedi.directory

To follow an account listed on the website, copy-paste the "Fediverse address" on its listing into the search box in Mastodon and then click "Follow".

There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it may be overwhelming at times. If you want to follow the news but you also need some way of taking mental health breaks, Mastodon's "Lists" feature might help.

Lists lets you move the accounts you follow into several separate timelines. You could for example create a "News" timeline and a "Non-News" timeline, then switch between them when you want to.

Hey everyone,

@aral and @joynewacc had the honour of speaking to three families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Hadeel Ahmed (@hadeel_2026)
• Dr. Abed From Gaza🇵🇸 (@abed_in_gaza123)
• RANA SAMIR (@rana83)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

I was just on BlueSky to see one specific post from one specific person, no account needed. But while I was there I noticed the list of trending hashtags:
1. Mets Trade
2. Swerve Strickland
3. AEW Dynamite
4. Kenny Omega
5. AEW Championship

So 2-5 are all about All Elite Wrestling. (And yes, I had to do searches on AEW and those names.)

And then I checked Mastodon, and these are the top hashtags seen on my instance:
1. MentorAMovieOrPlay — a hashtag game
2. CheesyEggCorns — another hashtag game
3. MusicWomenWednesday
4. WhiskersWednesday
5. MeerMittwoch

Quite the difference. I like it here.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.

But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.

They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!
