The No Agenda community continues to grow on the Mastodon-based NoAgendaSocial.com, part of the decentralized Fediverse. Users are encouraged to block bad-acting domains to maintain control over their experience. A new "value for value" observation notes a recurring media talking point about Americans not being required to "check in" at embassies, sparking concerns about future QR-code-based travel tracking.

The cover art for episode 1458, titled "The Prime Time Purge," was awarded to Tantaniel for a piece featuring a donkey taco. The hosts encouraged listeners to follow them on NoAgendaSocial.com, a Mastodon-based instance in the Fediverse. They also highlighted the No Agenda Art Generator and the community's role in providing visual content for the show.

Live listener statistics from the "Troll Room" are shared, showing above-average engagement for a Thursday show. Listeners are encouraged to join NoAgendaSocial.com, a federated Mastodon instance, as an alternative to mainstream platforms like Twitter where shadowbanning is a concern.

The hosts provide an update on the live stream community and the "troll room" at noagendastream.com. They encourage listeners to join the non-algorithmic social network at noagendasocial.com, which operates on the Mastodon server instance. The benefits of a federated social media model are highlighted.

The No Agenda community is encouraged to use decentralized platforms like NoAgendaSocial.com, a Mastodon-based federated network that now boasts nearly 7,000 users. The hosts emphasize moving away from "narcissistic" platforms like Twitter and Facebook in favor of self-hosted servers. The segment also promotes the 24/7 No Agenda Stream, which features various community-produced shows and music.

The No Agenda Stream and No Agenda Social provide a federated, algorithm-free social network for listeners. Users are encouraged to join the web chat and interact with live shows, though they are cautioned not to lose their passwords as the administration process is intentionally unhelpful. The network aims for a high signal-to-noise ratio compared to mainstream social media platforms.

The hosts review the artwork for episode 1126, titled "Truth to Podcaster," created by Martin JJ. The piece features a whistleblower theme and is compared to previous satirical works involving the Bush family. Listeners are encouraged to visit the No Agenda Art Generator and the network's social media instance.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak thank the executive producers for episode 964, titled "Born This Way." Jonathan Calvert is recognized for a $666 donation, and the hosts discuss the growth of the No Agenda Social Mastodon instance. A new knight, Sir Johnny the Swamp Knight, is inducted into the No Agenda roundtable following a discussion on the "beanie coin" and dating in Washington DC.

Adam Curry discusses his experience on the Mastodon open-source social network, where the "noagendasocial.com" domain is being blocked by other administrators. He describes being labeled a "serial abuser" by social justice warriors (SJWs) despite minimal activity. The discussion highlights the fractured, "federated" nature of the platform and the tendency of certain users to block dissenting views.

The hosts discuss the technical challenges of maintaining the noagendasocial.com server, specifically regarding software updates and database management. They note that users frequently request fixes for broken features like GIF uploads and often lock themselves out using two-factor authentication. Mention is made of the Mastodon open-source project recently adding a trademark to its name, which the hosts interpret as a sign of impending venture capital involvement.

The "No Agenda" community on the Mastodon social network is reportedly being targeted by "No Borders, No Nations" activists who want to block the server. Despite the decentralized nature of the platform, some admins are circulating blacklists to prevent "No Agenda" users from federating with other instances. The hosts point out the irony of "no borders" activists demanding digital firewalls and blocks.
