I’m not sure it’s going to be too long before the #TwitterMigration changes mastodon from being “better” to “the same just less nazis.”

some of the most toxic things about twitter were intracommunity callout culture and a constant stream of people needing to shame other people for liking things they didn’t like.

already see some of that here, as there are some who live only to start fights against easy targets.

Twitter emboldened people with outrageously bad takes or racist & bigoted views to share them for the rush of a viral tweet. It silenced already marginalized voices through threats & intimidation.

Twitter rewarded narcissism with follows & gave tremendous power to people least deserving of leadership roles or equipped for public service.

It was never the “town square” but often the mob with pitchforks & torches. If #Twitter falls, democracy & humanity will be better off. #TwitterMigration

kolektiva peeps: the server admins have, I think, so far raised about half of what they need to keep going with all the new people. that's a good start!

But if you haven't given anything yet, please give what you can, and if you have, please consider doubling it.

this is a great server, these are great admins working super hard for free, after their day jobs: keep the lights on!

Please join me in sharing a big “thank you” on behalf of us newer #Mastodon users to all the folks at @Mastodon including @Gargron and the team, as well as the Instance admins and existing user base, and everyone else in the #fediverse. You all created an amazing, innovative platform that is finally getting the recognition it deserves and provides a better alternative to legacy #socialmedia platforms that are currently imploding. My sincere thanks!

“Ice cream isn’t dinner” they say. Ok. Well why not? No one ever tells you because no one really knows. So what’s this really all about? The answer is simple: power.
