So lemme get this straight, recent big things for Mastodon:
- Opened up to Facebook who literally helped genocide happen and censors certain posts on their platform, after closed door meetings
- Added AI bro and crypto fucker Amir Ghavi as a board member
- Added a cofounder of Twitter as a board member.
It is becoming reasonable to question if there is a current goal to ensure Mastodon becomes less attractive to its core userbase. Almost like it's being sabotaged on purpose.

It stands to reason that if you want to get a hold of a lot of data, which technically has value, your job would be the devalue said data as much as possible.
This is what happened to the #internet citc 2000, when #ads covered every single page like a plague of locusts. Your eyeball time was devalued.
Then, #Facebook basically devalued your personal information by making it normal to give all of it away.
Now Facebook wants $10 to remove ads, but not #tracking.
I’m seeing a lot of people badmouthing Facebook/Meta and saying we shouldn’t federate with Threads.
Mastodon.social is owned by Mastodon gGmbH and run by the *author* of Mastodon. Mastodon.social federates with Threads. If Facebook/Meta were toxic, do you think they would? Of course, not.
Facebook/Meta has Mastodon’s author’s (& the original Mastodon server’s) seal of approval. So you should all shush because clearly you’re mistaken.

Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”
Welcome to the fediverse, friend.
