Gibt es Mastodon-Instanzen, die sich besonders gut für gemeinnützige Organisationen eignen?

Wo können Vereine, Kultur- und Bildungseinrichtungen unterschlüpfen, wenn sie keine eigene Instanz betreiben können oder wollen?

Es ist ja wenig transparent, wer hinter einer Instanz steht, wie verlässlich sie gewartet und moderiert wird.

Hat jemand Tipps?

Fediverse pals, if your instance is run by a non-profit organization or a volunteer, now is a good time to see if they need a donation.

I don't take for granted my instance moderators @tim @josh @crs @doug, especially as all other forms of social media enshittify.

Do you want to discover good video accounts on the Fediverse?

I've just added lots more of them to Fedi.Video, have a look at:

➡️ fedi.video

Fedi.Video highlights the best videos on PeerTube by only federating specific channels that meet quality standards rather than entire servers. Every channel federated to Fedi.Video has been manually added by a human, there's no algorithm or AI involvement.

If you run a good PeerTube channel, please get in touch!

Camp.smolnet.org a general Mastodon server, part of an initiative from a group of friends who share a certain weariness of huge internet services that exploit their users. This server has a love for openness, the internet, and pangolins. We hope you enjoy it. We are based in Sweden and so are most of our current users.

friends! Yay!!

We were able “ by your donations “ to pay the first installment of Noor's tuition fees for her registration in medical school.
Noor is now a student in medical school!
It remains for us to pay the rest of the installment before the end of December as soon as possible.

Please donate.

Every time you donate $25, it is as if you are buying a small notebook for Noor

If you're recommending Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to organisations, friends, family or colleagues, don't worry if they say no. You have done something really important simply by making them aware of it as an option.

Most people and organisations don't immediately try stuff they hear about. Usually they need to hear it mentioned by a few different sources before they actually try it.

By being one of those sources, you're nudging them closer to actually trying it 👍

Could we have a moment of appreciation for @deadsuperhero who runs (amongst other things) the Spectra.Video PeerTube server?

I'm just going through looking for accounts to feature on fedi.video and there is SO MUCH good stuff being hosted by Spectra.Video and Sean is paying all SV's bills.

If you enjoy PeerTube you might want to send some money to the SV OpenCollective to help Sean cover its costs:
