It won't stop at sex-work either.

If SCOTUS obliterates #Section230 in Gonzalez v. Google, we can expect a similar fate for many other online safe havens for minority interests.

This is what happens when lawmakers recklessly enact Internet regulations targeted at 'big tech.'

Enter @buffer.

I'm happy to share that Mastodon scheduling within Buffer is now available for all! 🐘 🚀

We've been beta testing with our community for the past couple of weeks, and the reception has been incredible. 🙏

We're grateful for the warm welcome to the fediverse, and we're participating here with curiosity and an appetite to learn. This is a special place and we're building with the uniqueness of this platform in mind. ✨

I'm thrilled to officially announce that as of today, @buffer supports Mastodon as a channel!

Mastodon's approach to social is something that's deeply aligned with Buffer's vision: it's community driven and organic.

A few weeks ago, I genuinely knew nothing about the fediverse, Mastodon or this new approach to creating online, social communities. A big thank you to our customers who gave us feedback on why we should add Mastodon, which empowered us to move quickly to be able to support this.
