I gave up over a 150,000 followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, the engagement and reach is a lot less, but I'll build it back up and it will be worth it. I hate to see people run back to Twitter because of friends or careers or whatever. You know what changes that? Being on Mastodon and bring those people here. Musk is a horrible person, don't be one of his enablers.
@grumpygamer but what if he comes here? Running is not an option. Maybe we can try to make any place brighter? Bad people are everywhere. So why run?
@kytattoo @grumpygamer he doesn't *own* here, that's the difference
