Twitter

With Elon Musk now openly campaigning for the modern day Republican party anchored around conspiracy theories and authoritarianism (call it fascism) - there is no doubt left that the Twitter is not going to be a neutral platform for democracy.

I am not going to leave Twitter just yet but it's been breathtaking to see how Musk is destroying its credibility in real time right before an enormously consequential election. #Fediverse #vote #vote2022

I keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.

Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.

Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.
