@ajroach42 thanks for replying to a new arrival marveling at the Mastodon. if I’m understanding it right: the lack of centralization here provides a check-and-balance against a Elon Event or other abusive incarnations of “free-speech-absolutism” (free speech despotism?) which as such makes it “free-speech-actually” because that ultimate protects human rights for participants in a way Twtter never could.
