Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!

Every time a corporate platform dies, the standards-based, federated world will get a little bit stronger. Someday the network effect will kick in and federated will be the default - again. Email managed to get there early, #XMPP nearly achieved it too (and still can, if we finally stop using walled-garden messengers like WhatsApp or Signal). Let's make interoperability a hard requirement.
