@scalzi @Trine_DK The story is a curiosity but #Mastodon provides a much more #interactive and #positive environment. And it lacks the bungling of a wealthy benefactor who’s busy whoring out for #profit instead of what’s good for the #community. I prefer to put my $ and time into a platform that would value me and my connections over profit of corporations. I’m happy to #patronize them to support that. I will not be big tech’s #product, as much as I can do so.
