#Fedi, I need your help.

I'm raising £8,125 to introduce #Leicester to ethical, decentralised platforms like #Mastodon.

I want to:

🚀 Launch a Mastodon instance for local people

👨‍🏫 Run workshops in schools teaching safe social networking

📢 Champion the #fediverse in the indie #media sector

Don’t let #BigTech and #billionaires kill #LocalNews. Can you help us reach our target of 25 new lifetime members by mid-June?

You can join no matter where you live.

Donate: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/join-the-f…

"Join the fight against big tech" is large bold text overlaid on a glitchy version of Mark Zuckerberg with black tape over his eyes. The background is a geometric pattern.

Had fun at the Retro Computer Museum today in Leicester UK. Plenty of hands-on retro computers and consoles as well as an arcade area too.

Friendly volunteers who obviously were passionate about the collection and helping out there.

Really worth a visit!

Photograph of a golden Amiga 500 computer displayed on a white shelf next to a framed certificate. The certificate, issued by Commodore, confirms this unit (serial number 090791) as the one millionth Amiga ever produced. It is signed by David J. Pleasance, Managing Director of Commodore Business Machines (U.K.) Ltd. The Amiga features a special metallic finish, commemorating its milestone production status.
Photograph of a grey Atari Falcon030 computer on display, flanked by an Atari 260ST on the left and an Amstrad CPC model on the right. The Falcon030 features a distinctive diagonal vent design, dark grey function keys (F1–F10), and a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad. The Atari and Falcon030 logos are visible above the keyboard. The Amstrad machine to the right bears a visible signature, adding a personal collector's touch. All three computers are arranged on a white shelf.
Tatung Einstein computer with built-in monitor displaying the “X BASIC MENU”. A black joystick with red buttons labelled “Super” is connected. A ZX Spectrum is also visible in the background, with cables running to a small screen. The setup is arranged on a wooden desk by a window.

The console rests on a wooden surface.
