When you follow new people, take a moment to read their profile in full. As there might be useful hints about if they want follows, or if they want some kind of interaction or something else first.

And while you're at it, check if they have any pinned posts, as they can have additional important info there.

Thank you for your consideration.

At this point I am beyond convinced that everyone talking about filter bubbles and echo chambers is simply concern trolling and is following some nefarious agenda

Hello everyone!

We’ve got some cool news to share :) A while back, we sent an application off to NLnet as part of one of their NGI0 Entrust funding rounds.

We got word back earlier this week that we’ve been granted the funding we asked for! This means that for the next year or so, subject to final negotiations with NLnet, GoToSocial will have ~50k euros to spend on research + development.

In short, this means that tobi (current most-obsessed dev) will be able to work on GoToSocial full time for the next year, without having to get a part-time job somewhere. This also means we can pay Maloki and f0x for their ongoing admin work + frontend work, respectively.

The NLnet grant gives tobi in particular a lot more financial security and peace of mind, ensuring that development can keep moving along at a good pace. Even so, we will still be keeping donations open to our LiberaPay and OpenCollective pages.

Your very kind (!) donations will be used to pay for additional things like server costs, art, design work, and also put towards the pool for paying contributors for their code (once we figure out the best way of doing this).

Thank you for reading, and have a nice weekend!

How to avoid one particular faux pas on your first day in the Fediverse 

Idk who needs to hear this

I honestly haven't seen it since the last wave of Musk-averse Twitter users to enter the Fediverse

But I recommend not calling yourself a "refugee" from Twitter

It's in bad taste to compare your situation (leaving a social media website) to that of actual refugees

it's broken, hopefully fixing that in the next train lol
