Microsoft will get owned using creds stolen from Recall on one of their staff's systems
(this one is less of a prediction and more of a "please I need this to happen because it would be a gem of pure amusement in an otherwise cold and indifferent world")
HAPPY NEW YEAR lovely people of the fediverse 😁 May it be bouncy and joyful for you all.

Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
