Do all the people on Twitter using the platform to complain about Elon ad nauseum not understand that if they left the platform and stopped engaging, it would turn into Parler, lose its advertisers and die? It's just a private app that monetizes off of engagement. So don't engage.

I am slowly learning that lesson. It has been just so damn addicting. I am trying really hard to stick to mastadon, but there is not as much interesting stuff happening on here.
@TheLunarPierce @alexwinter I notice that some instances use heavy moderation banning any divergent thoughts and opinions so the instance turn to an echo chamber and the content posted become stale.
@voidabyss @TheLunarPierce @alexwinter If you should happen to find yourself on an instance that isn't connected to most of the rest of Mastodon, luckily you can move. No harm, no foul. I mean, Gab is a Mastodon instance, it's just blocked by so many other instances they've been walled off from being able to spread their hate around.
@voidabyss @TheLunarPierce @alexwinter Unless your account is on a server that is banned by or bans every other server, this doesn’t happen. You can see people from other servers. Your server/instance is just where your account resides.
