If you’re reading this toot there’s a pretty high chance you’ve asked yourself ethical questions about your social media use *and that’s why you’re here*
You’ve likewise probably got concerns about Meta and Threads
But the 90-odd % of your friends you left behind on Facebook, Insta etc. likely don’t have those concerns to the same extent as you
Mastodon has to win on user experience *as well as on ethics*. We can’t just berate the Meta users
I think that's true for some extent, but the Swedish journalists, intellectuals and leftists I know who are still on twitter are there 'because everyone is there'.
So I think it's easy to focus too much on pututive technical changes when what is needed is simply a more relevant and bigger community. And that's linked to a better ux, yes, but when twitter became big it wasn't because it was user friendly but because it was relevant to connect with Arab Spring.
