Such an important observation!
"Ad-driven social media platforms are willing to tolerate monumental volumes of abusive users [because] hate and fear drives engagement, and engagement drives ad impressions.
Mastodon is not an ad-driven platform. There is absolutely zero incentives to let awful people run amok in the name of engagement."

#Cruzbike, #recumbent
Got in five miles training on the CruzBike yesterday.
Yesterday’s learning topic: Steering.
I am so used to a long wheel base upright touring bike that the turns are a bit startling on the Q45. Steering becomes easier when I learn to relax my shoulders and gently grip the bars. The lean and counter-steering skills help and are morphing toward becoming natural.
An upright bike took training, too, even if I forgot that.
CruzBikes are front wheel drive recumbent cycles.
Good evening everyone! I’m new to Mastodon and hoping to de-tweet my existence. I’d like to spend my SM time positively.
I follow US politics, but hate the divisive tone.
I like to cycle, read and learn. Currently trying to learn Japanese.
Travel is important to my mind as is thoughtfulness.
Everything has a grey area. But teaching and learning are vital to my existence.
