What's sort of interesting about this is that with all the talk of 'decentralization' and the affinity that right-libertarians have for it, Mastodon seems to be attracting a crowd that's fundamentally left-leaning and pro-democracy, with some left-libertarian anti-state sentiment too.

Right now the poll on Twitter is a bit more 'yay' than on here, but that's a function of my followers, too. Will be interested to see where it ends up.

For my part, I think Rand is ridiculous.

Nay on Ayn Rand, nay on Rand Paul, and Nay on Paul Ryan, those are the first political associations that jump to my mind when I see the name.
