Until now I hadn’t appreciated that were very serious structural problems at Twitter. I thought Elon would make it messy, but it would robustly continue. This below, however, is starting to make me much more concerned.

I came across to Mastodon out of curiosity, fun, sense of opportunity & respect for the concept. Now I’m thinking it’s a vital hedge for us all against serious Twitter risks, including collapse.

@mikegalsworthy Mastodon is good but how will it fund itself with a mass migration when/if Twitter crashes?

@DameNotDorries @mikegalsworthy The same way as Wikipedia, public donations and donations from wealthy individuals, companies and foundations.

I am more concerned about moderation as it scales up.
