Here in France the #HelloQuitX initiative helloquitx.com/ to leave #Twitter/X—and join Mastodon or Bluesky as better options—has gathered a lot of attention: politicians are talking about it in prime time on major medias.

That's great!

My only nit with the initiative is that it is *not* encouraging to donate to the chosen Mastodon server (for people choosing that over Bluesky).

A better social media world also needs users to understand there is no free lunch for hosting costs.
