If you're planning to leave Twitter because a sociopath CEO makes you sick to your stomach and is wrecking the place, please think twice before heading to another centralized service where you risk the same problem at some point.
Decentralized is the best way forward.
The amount of people I see upset and angry at the new ownership who are then also going to another centralised platform astonishes me.
They seem to think the issue is that Twitter was bought by a "bad billionaire", not that it was centralised and possible to be purchased at all.
I honestly think many of those complaining would very satisfied if a "good billionaire" came along to buy Twitter or create a Twitter alternative, not understanding there are no "good billionaires".
I've become very disappointed in some people over this. Sure, people can have issues with Mastodon, but to complain about Twitter's new ownership while proudly rejoicing at joining another centralised platform just makes me think they're awfully shortsighted.
