Sad to see people fleeing the sinking ship of XTwitter and just not even considering this as an option. It just has to be some other centralized, corporate-controlled place run by the same three shitty techbros who have decades of experience ruining the Internet for all of us.

I feel glad for the many friends I do have here, but it's one of those moments where it feels like being principled really does leave you lonelier than you deserve to be.

@silvereagle Yuuuuuuuuuuuuup, it is like watching people who just got done burning their hand on the stove eyeballing a cooking range like it's going to be a way better time, even when both options have already had PLENTY of red flags

And it's always "oh but Mastodon is so HARD to use, I mean I think I heard someone say that and I definitely haven't spent more than 5 minutes trying to use it but like, yeah, not worth the effort"
