@ShallowWater @jonty Hey, guess what? A huge number of people came here fleeing Twitter, made accounts, and got so frustrated and left. The vast majority, actually. It's visible in the account creation vs. active users numbers. It's visible in my own experience with friends. And guess what? Those people are now going to Bluesky instead.
@nafnlaus @jonty
Good. I wish them well on bluesky.
But it was pretty stinky when Taylor Lorenz showed up here and started demanding immediate changes "or the journalists will leave."
It never occured to her that she was being treated to the kindness of strangers, who built Mastodon on a shoestring, and gave it to her for free -- no $8 blue check subscription service charge.
