    This whole thing is insane. Charging people to be the product that gets advertised to. That’s why cable is dying… same thing.

      Hopefully this is just another step in digging their own grave and that more people realize the importance of mastodon now.

    They really missed an opportunity. $5 per use would have been better, and $20 to delete the public edit history. 😁😂
