Austin Kocher, PhD 🌎For me at least, getting onto @Mastodon and appreciating the structure of the platform and the tone of conversation has made these other pop-up social networks (Twitter replacements) totally unattractive. No, I don’t want to move up on a wait list by “referring 5 friends”; no, I don’t want to be part of another Jack Dorsey project; no, I don’t want to be part of something with weird completely top-down control. Mastodon broke me for other platforms.
starrwulfeIs it wrong for me to be humming the last part of your post to the tune of “No Scrubs” by TLC?
No I don't want your number/No I don't wanna give you mine
No I don't need you to take me nowhere and/No I don't need none of your timeeeee
No I don't need no scrubs/a scrub is a guy who can't get no love from me/hanging out the side of his best friend's ride/trying to holla at meYeah, those lyrics describe what those Twitter also-rans seem like to me.
