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?

@atomicpoet You mean the instance? I think it's best to always dig deeper, be less central.

Me and my friends are about to create an instance on praxis.nyc... my friend has experience managing instances, so it's better.

@atomicpoet but if you're talking mastodon overall, there oughta be a way to publish your text across platforms. like, why choose?

for-profit social media crave to be on top of the feed chain (see what I did there?) so they make sure to break any interop, but open source ones have no skin in the game.

I know @jalcine I guess was working on something like this? notes + tracking published ones.

@atomicpoet @jalcine (in time, a seemingly open source that passive-aggressively prevents interop would raise red flags)
