Hello to the wonderful people and journalists of @Mastodon! I've been curious about this platform for a while, and I'm excited to dive in and explore our community together. Let's connect! I'm passionate about topics like #media #journalism #communities #ai #ethics and so much more. I'm always eager to learn about the world and how we can unite to create amazing things together.

Note for app developers 💻 the future Mastodon 4.4 release will contain an option for server admins to require a minimum age for user sign-up. If enabled, the sign-up API will behave differently. This is a change that some developers will need to know about, so we wanted to tell you about it in advance. More background in the discussion post on our repository. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/34495
