"The simplest argument · Have you noticed that social-media products, in the long term, can’t seem to manage to stay fun and safe and useful? I have. But there’s one huge exception... I’m talking about email... Why does email stay reasonably healthy? Because nobody owns it... Mastodon’s like email that way. Plus it does all the...stuff that you’re used to."

We used to call #bigtech social media sites walled gardens. 👨🌾
The walls were high without many doors. Plus Zuck & friends have been poisoning the flowers to make them unnaturally bright.
Now the walls are so high that people are trapped in a place that’s steadily dying.
🌱 We have to compost some sh** to make the soil healthy again. I see #mastodon as a giant meadow for everyone to roam. 🐘
