Mastodon’s latest update readies the app for Quote Posts, revamps design


Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network offering an alternative to Elon Musk's X and Meta's Threads, is rolling out a number of updates

On Twitter, now called X, the feature’s addition led to a culture of “ dunking ” where users would bash or deride another person by quoting their post and responding with their own bit of snark or insulting humor. A new “Feature on my profile” option will let you showcase things you want to promote, like all your posts with a specific hashtag or other accounts you find interesting — perhaps others you run for your business, brand, or side project, or just those you think deserve more attention. The changes follow a number of other updates for the social network this year, including its announcement that it will create a new non-profit in Europe to move away from the app being run by a single individual, and other expansions to its team.
