That's why we've posted physical 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.
Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we hope to help them catch up with many of the European organisations who have already turned to open social media.

Hi, everyone who's here from TikTok.
Something you'll find different here (and love if you're anything like me), is that the "algorithm" is created directly by everyone who uses this thing. Boosting a post shows it to people who follow you. The more people boost the same post, the more people see it.
Also—and this isn't even aimed at any app specifically—Mastodon, unlike a lot of apps, is really good on mobile AND on desktop according to a lot of people, including me. Please log in to whichever instance you chose to make your account on in a web browser, and try it if you haven't already.
There are also accessibility features here that most other social media either lacks entirely or doesn't do nearly as well. Alt text, for example, is text added to media, that exists primarily for the purpose of describing said media to people who interact with Mastodon using an audio interface. Adding alt text to images is recommended, and posts containing images are likely to get more boosts with alt text than without.
It's also a good idea to write a brief (or not) introduction post and pin it on your profile.
I should probably also mention that I've been looking through #TikTokRefugee and following anyone and everyone who's here from TikTok. So if you're here from TikTok and I just followed you, that's why.
Welcome to Mastodon.

A Ecotxe estam de mudança comunicativa. Hem decidit deixar de publicar a #X, #Facebook i #Instagram per passar-nos plenament a les xarxes socials lliures i obertes del #Fedivers.

The #Fediverse is considered to be the “next big thing” in social media. Usage has roughly tripled from 2022 - 23, and as larger platforms begin adopting we can expect a tenfold increase in adoption in 2024.

We're all about creating a web where everyone can participate, be safe from abuse & harm, and where civil society can flourish, keep that in mind in your replies 🙏.
