In my own way, I feel a tremendous responsibility for what happened at Twitter.

I never worked at Twitter. But I was one hell of an evangelist for it, and helped sell governments and corporations on Twitter.

My intentions were never to create the conditions for electing Trump into office. Nor was it to help white supremacists and Russian bot farms spread their filth.

But that’s still on me—I helped.

So what can I do about it? Help the Fediverse happen!

@atomicpoet The nice thing about the Fediverse is that it self insulates against the haters. They are welcome to join mastodon, but they'll find themselves booted from every reputable server. Any instance that harbors the haters will soon be defederated. So they can only create an isolated echo chamber that nobody else pays any attention to.

At least, that is my hope.
