“You’re not just trusting me to not play nice with governments. We literally don’t have the data, which is the only way to actually preserve privacy.”

For all its faults, Mastodon is the better platform for people who care about having control over their data. It's definitely not perfect in that regard either, but at least it tries.

Also, it has GIFs and videos and polls. Based on BlueSky's dev velocity, they'll have that sometime 2032.

Just wanna say, team: fuck Bluesky and Twitter. The support I get for my work here on Masto is so much better. There’s a culture of boosting stuff we love and I appreciate it so much, as a creative person who relies on shares to bring in new readers and ultimately pay my bills, and invoices from other creative people. Thank you ❤️
