For the first time ever, I’m torn about whether I should stay on mastodon.social.
Being here has given me a voice I’ve never had, to talk about a topic that I feel strongly about, and I feel I’ve made the world a slightly different place.
But I also wonder if mastodon.social is becoming even more hostile to the rest of the Fediverse.
Should I stay and fight? Or is this a lost cause?
I talk to lots of devs, server admins, and users—and the trend has been that Mastodon’s BDFL approach is actively harming the rest of the Fediverse.
Community safety features haven’t been implemented in years.
Aspects of ActivityPub aren’t utilized or they’re kneecapped even though they’ve been present since the very beginning.
Things that are possible elsewhere on the Fediverse aren’t possible on Mastodon.
