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 I think it'll be like email. Some people will pay for a commercial service, enthusiasts will run their own, most people will use the server provided by their ISP.
