What’s the Difference Between Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads?
The ongoing Twitter exodus sparked life into a new way of doing social media. Instead of a handful of platforms trying to control your life online, people are reclaiming control by building more open and empowering approaches to social media.Electronic Frontier Foundation

EVERY POINT here applies equally to the other systems. Corporations make unilateral decisions all the time. How is this a Mastodon centric problem?
Sounds like inventing differences just to have something to say.

in reply to Electronic Frontier Foundation • • •The problem lies in getting people to actually *USE* them. I've tried over and over to convince a lot of people who really shouldn't remain on the platforms their own to switch over and just get collective shrugs from most. Some I legitimately worry about. For example, vtubers on Twitter as nazis gain more and more power there. I guess they don't think they're direct targets, but I guarantee that they will be. (Especially LGBTQ+ people and open allies.)
How do we get people to switch?
