I know we called Twitter a hellsite and most of us deactivated multiple times but I'm just thinking about #repealthe8th and #hometovote and even the Super Mario red beret thread and how these things couldn't have kicked off on a different social media website.
Even if Mastodon takes off, we have lost something. Or rather, we have had something stolen from us.
@darach things change, social media platforms like twitter, Facebook never 'belong' to the people using it, and creating content. That's the big different in open source, not for profit. We 'used' twitter in those instances for positive change, as other countries and communities have done. But we were always sitting in someone else's farm, without tenant rights.
