We've been working on a fun little project for a while and we'd love to welcome you to take the first look at it:
Everyone, this is our newest community service: Vivaldi Radio.
Vivaldi Radio, this is the fediverse!! :tony_wee:
Vivaldi Radio is a free radio streaming service where you can discover radio stations from all over the world without being tracked, just like how radio used to be. No popups, no ads, suggestions. Just you and the music.
This is a work in progress, we're still adding stations and polishing things, but we’re excited to hear about your first impressions and improvement suggestions. ❤️
Visit radio.vivaldi.net to start exploring! 🎧
We're excited to share the results from Mastodon's first #DiscoveryWeek!
In case you missed it, earlier this year our Head of Design @imanijoy arranged a week of workshops and surveys to get to know you, learn about your needs and wants, and discover how you're using (and want to use) Mastodon.
This week was tremendously helpful for us, and we're grateful to everyone who participated.
Here's what we learned:

Maybe I don't have control of anything;

The Fediverse. Where I spend my day discussing the relative quality of music throughout the decades, the complexity and accessibility of Jazz, and in what order I would eat the Muppets (with a possible extension to Sesame Street now I , apparently, have a taste for Muppet meat).
(I'm a borderline Vegan but Muppets don't count. There's no mention of them on either the vegan society or PETA's websites)
