The Oxford Word of the Year is "rage bait" 🙁 In a world seemingly filled with "rage bait", we're building technology that lets you connect authentically. That's why we carefully designed consent-respecting Quote Posts. Free speech isn’t about giving hate a megaphone, it’s about protecting the voices that need it most.🛡️ Mastodon’s community-driven moderation proves we can foster open dialogue and safety, without algorithms or agendas.

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb

We’re excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Here’s a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!)
