'There's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have,' Mastodon's founder says.

I think they twitter will become a lot more lax on bans, potentially more strict on banning people who make fun of elon. I think trump will return to twitter. Overall, seems like a ginormous win for the libertarians/ancaps.

I think we should capitalize on this moment and bring way more people to the fediverse.

    It’s always events like this that make me so happy Fediverse is a thing. 10 years ago, if you said you were leaving something like Reddit or Facebook there were literally zero alternatives. FOSS apps usually has a bad rap for not being as polished as the billion dollar corporation’s product, but I’ve been using Mastodon recently and it’s incredible nice! Feels even friendlier to use than Twitter because it’s not as bloated. Here’s hoping Lemmy, too, will finally get over that stump and become a viable alternative.

      They still do if you ask irl ppl. They think 0$ = bad

      Glad someone else noticed this!
