Hey everyone I did a cartoon for the Guardian about why Mastodon is my favourite microblogging site. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/07/twitter-is-burning-bluesky-is-smug-where-is-the-best-place-to-do-your-pathetic-doomscrolling

Twitter is burning, Bluesky is smug. Where is the best place to do your pathetic doomscrolling?

Here is First Dog on the Moon’s handy guide to the dystopian social network you should be on

Maybe I misread, but I came away from the cartoon thinking Bluesky was your favorite site.

Dorsey started #Bluesky specifically because he *didn't* want to kick the Nazis off Twitter. He hated being forced to suspend violent fascists like Trump in the middle of his coup against the US government so much, that he apologized to the fascists, said Trump ban was "wrong for...society" & asked his friend Elon Musk to buy Twitter & take it private to insulate it from shareholders.
