@fediversereport "The events at Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter reinforces this feeling for a lot of people, as it shows them the risk of what happens when there is a single CEO that controls a platform."

I have an essay forthcoming discussing (among other things) that Mastodon is not a platform (individual servers are) and that people need to be very careful applying hard-won platform-informed wisdom to something that isn't a platform.

@darius Cool! Very interested in reading that. One of the reasons why I wanted to write this time capsule is that I observed this issue with language, and that people feel like the proper terms are missing sometimes. Adding to that, with a proper distinction of how Mastodon is not a platform will definitely help!
