This by @marcoarment nicely conveys why I'm feeling good about using Mastodon, had no desire to sign up for Hive, Post or any of the other Twitter clones now popping up, and why Twitter also feels icky in comparison.
@canion@tuckerjj@marcoarment My only nitpick was their previous near-dead certainty that Mastodon wasn’t an option. That said, they admitted as much, and changed their opinion, which is all I can ask for. 😊
