Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design. In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads. Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. 🌈 A better web is possible - and it's powered by the people. Donate #SupportMastodon
