@Orca @arvindv @tintvrtkovic @danilo @thisismissem I haven’t purchased any stupid landfill-bound #Mastodon merch, but I *am* personally funding @thisismissem because she is the *only* #Fedi developer I have encountered who actually cares about building good software that works for real people. What little I have heard from this Gargron character hasn’t been very good. He doesn’t seem to be much concerned with anything that actually matters to the folks trying to build community here.

I just want to pause for a moment to appreciate the fact that we have this distributed #socialnetwork and don’t need to fear it being taken away or monopolized. I think that is the best outcome out of the last several years. I am excited by the potential of the #fediverse to help communities weave together patchworks of resistance and subversive thinking, and eventually swarm together to foment societal transformation. We have barely scratched the surface of this capacity.
