It’s super privileged to tell people to “simply stop using Twitter.” People who rely on mutual aid can’t do that here due to much smaller reach (and sometimes even server rules). People have life-saving community on Twitter that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Ever try sharing a Mastodon link to someone who isn’t a user? It’s a garbage experience and if you run a business or something Mastodon is not the place.

Stop putting the onus on marginalized people to make your platform succeed, that’s a garbage take!!!!!

Additionally, just because a person is on here doesn’t mean they’re a fediverse evangelist or enjoyer. Many of us are just here because other people came here from Twitter. Many of us will also leave once a better alternative becomes available.

@shantini yeppppp, I like mastodon, but the longer I’m here the more it feels like a stopgap. Too many people playing gatekeeper for “how mastodon should be”

Hurry up and make MySpace 2.0. I want to play with 2000’s html to add glitter to my music player that just loops theory of a deadman.
