Sometimes it takes an outsider to point out the obvious. So, as a Chinese immigrant in Canada I feel the need to say something:

If you feel a sense of loyalty to a specific political party, then you really don't understand how democracy is supposed to work.

A democratic party is not a sports team and you are not their fan. A party is like an internet service provider - if their quality of service diminishes, you should switch providers.

This “Elon is free to do what he wants on Twitter, and you’re free to move elsewhere” is a very american take.

Elon must comply with European laws and regulations in data protection, anti-trust, anti-discrimination, etc or the EU will seize his property to enforce fines or make Twitter unavailable for EU.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
