honestly i think Mastodon had the right idea about how social media should work. no ads, no algorithm deciding everything for you, run by people instead of a giant company but instead of building one place for everyone, they built thousands of separate servers. so now every opinion lives in its own little corner, and you only really meet the people who already think like you the whole point of social media should be that different people end up in the same room. even when they disagree. maybe especially then

saturday morning grocery shoppers are a different species. no browsing, no small talk, just in and out like a heist
Germany's Bundestag just approved the "Frühstartrente", an early-start pension for kids 🇩🇪 How it works: - The state puts €10 a month into an investment account for every child, from age 6 to 18 - It starts with kids born in 2020 - That adds up to €1,440 from the state in total - If parents don't open an account, the money gets invested anyway The government's own example: with 7% return a year, that could grow to around €53,000 by age 65. That's an assumption, not a guarantee. Anyone born before 2020 gets nothing from it. So, what do you think: a smart start, or way too little? And what about everyone who's already paying into the system today? 👇
I’m enjoying Tellmelo more and more every day! 😊

Ever wondered what someone else's feed looks like? On tellmelo you can lend your feed to a friend. Create a link, send it, and for one hour they see your feed exactly the way you see it: same order, same topics, same vibe. Don't worry, nothing private gets shared. Your messages, hidden groups and anything blocked stay off-limits. They only borrow how your feed is sorted, not what you're allowed to see. After an hour the link stops working, and you can take it back anytime before that. Perfect Sunday experiment: swap feeds with a friend and see who has the better taste 😄
Vous avez bien dormi j'espère

Hello everyone! 👋
سام و الکس خیلی کاربلدند. خوب میدانند چهطور ایلان را زمینگیر و له کنند. حالا فرض کنیم به گرد پایش هم نرسد، ولی همینکه همواره یکقدم از ایشان جلوترند، خیلی لذتبخش است.
What tellmelo does differently
You set the algorithm. And see what it leaves out.
Sliders decide what’s at the top.
No ads. No data sales.
Your data isn’t used for advertising and isn’t sold.
No banner. There is nothing to consent to.
No tracking, no ad identifiers.
Counters off. Nothing that pulls you back.
Quiet mode hides reaction counts. Sounds only play if you turn them on.
