Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more.
All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.
@mehdihasan great to see you here on Mastadon highlighting the very real social impact of one man’s ego-driven take down of Twitter. Probably overly pollyannaish on my part but I do hope that a move to decentralized alternatives such as this platform end up creating a comparable alternative with more aligned operational philosophies and principles.
Thanks for all your excellent work Mehdi.
