We have a unique opportunity to reimagine social media right now. It's fortunate that an open source alternative to Twitter has existed to catch the great Twitter exodus.

Twitter was/is huge and overwhelming, controlled by forces looking to profit from you. Mastodon is largely run by people and organizations who care about what and who they are hosting. I joined my instance because of @nathan's cool icon, anti-fascist stance, and queer acceptance.

Since joining I have enjoyed this place.
