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.

Reminder that we all have the power to be involved here: when you see people talking about leaving #Twitter, remind them that Mastodon exists, suggest a couple servers, offer to help them out with it. Our biggest strength here is that we are a community that has a direct incentive to make a real and tangible investment in bringing users over, and therefore, that we have a reason to become directly involved in getting people to get over here.
I got like five people onboarded in the 48 hours. If everyone in the community could get at least one person a week on average to join, we would be doubling in size every week.
