"Mastodon is far from perfect. But I only have so many hours in the day, and only so many days left in my life. I would much rather spend those precious hours making a open service better than using a temporarily superior closed one. I have seen that movie. I know how it ends."

Hey, so if you're tempted to chime in here with something about the fact that Cory's post is on Medium: Yes, I know. Everyone can see that. Anyone who clicks through can see it's only available to those with (free) accounts.
Many, many people have made this point in my replies already. (If you can't see them, they may be #GhostReplies to you). So save your keystrokes.

But please leave me out of it.

@design_law @pluralistic too bad it's "member only" ...
(Note: i learned, there is a reason for this)
@design_law @pluralistic i agree with the spirit of this article but Doctorow had to post it on a paywall site.
Medium is more of the same enshitification.
And it's paywalled on Medium. 🤦♂️
And that is how it is!
