One of the great things about #Mastodon is that there's no pressure to leave it if your mods ever start inflicting moral injury. Unlike with #meta, #twitter, and #google, you can actually vote with your feet, move to a different server, and get the mastodon experience you want. No losing connections, no awkward re-learning.

It’s time to cancel companies for using #AWS the same way we do for them maintaining a #Twitter account.
And it’s time to cancel Prime. Not too hard, given how Amazon developed into an overpriced low-quality AliExpress sh*thole.

What if everyone working for Amazon/whole foods/meta/X quit?

Just days ago, the European Union requested access to information about #Twitter #X's algorithm.

To be honest, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram/Threads can't die quickly enough. Every mass migration, every new account on here, every closure of an account elsewhere will help retake the internet from billionaires one tiny step at a time.
Be open, nice and honest. Talk to your friends about their social media usage. Don't be pushy.
We can destroy this pillar of fascism.
