How ironic this beautiful, real world continues to be ruled those that are transfixed by the unreal.
The true flesh and bones of existence is seemingly lost to most of us. Hypnotized by the skin deep dramas of the ego, what would happen if we awoke?
What would happen if those with the greatest influence related to life through spacious consciousness rather than the reflexive contractions of the mind?
How dearly I pray for those with a seat at the table of our times to wake from the trance.

@broximar thanks for the welcome. I never warmed up to Twitter and am delighted to find a space such as this that seems more of a fit for the kinds of interactions I’d like to be part of. Appreciate you validating what I hope I’ll find. Here’s hoping!

What have you most enjoyed about Mastadon so far?

The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.

People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.

These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.

@mehdihasan great to see you here on Mastadon highlighting the very real social impact of one man’s ego-driven take down of Twitter. Probably overly pollyannaish on my part but I do hope that a move to decentralized alternatives such as this platform end up creating a comparable alternative with more aligned operational philosophies and principles.

Thanks for all your excellent work Mehdi.
