Great article.

"Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies..."

So says Prof Paul Bernal - Professor of Information Technology Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law.

@mikegalsworthy some brilliant points raised there and goes to show why so many are choosing Mastodon as a new open source, open minds community that will be clutter free of bile!

@simonmason @mikegalsworthy Yup. It’s definitely my biggest worry, that the right wing nut jobs will come over here to seek all of us out once there’s no one left to bully on Twitter. But the Fediverse seems built to tackle that sort of thing. 🤞

@mikegalsworthy @ProgGrrl @simonmason I shudder to think what admins might face if that came to pass, but being a voluntary effort, not looking for profit and not paying attention to clicks, ads etc, the admins will be less shy about actioning reports of unacceptable behaviour.
