#GwellCyfryngauCymdeithasol ??

Today is #CalanMai - sometimes known as #CalanHâf - the first of May and the first day of summer in Cymru.

Traditionally, this is the day Summer and Winter fight and Summer wins, paving the way for a good harvest.

Nos Galan Haf - the night before the celebration - is one of the spirit nights, and bonfires are lit to ward against harmful spirits.

As we continue to build #BetterSocialMedia that lights the fires to keep the unwelcome spirits at bay, I wish everyone a happy #MayDay 💚

🎉 It's been five years! Each and every member of toot.wales is helping create #BetterSocialMedia, and we love sharing the joy.

To celebrate we are planning a week-long Wales-wide road trip late May or early June.

@jaz
It's wonderful to have the algorithm be

Show me what I ask to see

Rather that

Show me what you want me to see

#telleveryone #bettersocialmedia #fediverse

@jaz Being a part of the #fediverse is like being hugged, virtually, by a community of people who enjoy sharing thoughts, ideas and experiences. #bettersocialmedia #TellEveyone

👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

How flippin' awesome is that!?

In one sentence, tell why you're having a good time here.

(And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone)

@moderation

Greetings #MastoMods and Fediverse #Moderation community members!

In a world of #BetterSocialMedia we will need more and more moderation resources to support a growing community.

Surveys have shown need for access to legal and compliance resources, additional #moderators , improved moderation tools and template documentation.

What would you like to see made available to help continue supporting a safe and civil Fediverse?

I have to say, ever since joining #mastodon about 3-4 weeks ago, I’ve had a pretty awesome experience with it. I connect with the majority of my fans, peers, and friends on Facebook, but here I’m able to make a post with some hashtags and meet random fresh new people that are awesome and I can relate to. It’s better here for meeting new friends. Glad to be here. #independentmusician #electronicmusic #industrialmusic #ebm #techno #iosmusicproduction #ios #ipad #bettersocialmedia #banscamp

Wow, mastodon has me excited about the internet and the possibilities again! It feels new again. #mastadon #bettersocialmedia

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Greta Thunberg @gretathunberg just joined @Mastodon (!!!) and that kinda makes this the best party I’ve ever been to.

PS: Get serious about climate change! We actually do need this planet. 🌎*
