@Brendanjones I would have never even thought about it without Mastodon (though I've had to explain to private businesses like banks or my employer that I don't have a google account or use WhatsApp...) And it's made me realise that this is the one topic where 99% of politicians and public servants represents me fully: they're normies, just like me. Some more than me, some haven't gone past search=Google and email=Gmail. They don't have Mastodon so, like me, they've never thought about it.
