@Mastodon "This is a stark reminder that centralized platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and can’t say while holding your social graph hostage."

Bingo!

@Mastodon How rude.

@Mastodon I just want my timeline in order & not be overloaded with ads!
But yes. What Twitter has turned into is depressing.

Some things becoming clear:
1) Mastodon is the ‘serious’ platform for folks who don’t mind working at it a bit. De-centralized so can’t be high jacked be an oligarch.
2) Post is the user-friendly, upstart alternative, geared for casual users.
3) Twitter is legacy. Still relevant, but compromised and corrupt.

@Mastodon
Will #Musk's reign at the #birdsite become known as #Elongate, or is that stretching things too far?

@Mastodon
What's #Twitter? 😎
#JohnMastodon @JohnMastodon and @Gargron do rock the #fediverse 😉

@Mastodon Again???

@Mastodon Elon musk is going to get into well deserved legal trouble he doesn’t know what he is doing

@Mastodon

#mstdnsocial suspends pro #Ukrainian #Mastodon accounts for sharing #Russian #Propaganda. Ignores your appeal, emails and toots and won't allow you to ever access your profile info again. You can't even download your profile data as the files are corrupted. But hey let's carry on trashing Twitter.

This is what I left #Twitter for apparently 🤷‍♂️ Worse experience in my life. Sorry #Ukraine I tried. @Stux and your team. Very well done! You give Mastodon a wonderful name!

@Mastodon well, that’s such a shame. Elon perfectly ruined the fun part of using Twitter 😫
