fast forward to them cutting costs on a Mastodon server that nobody uses
Threads like this make me wonder why any corporation would bother with the fediverse when this is how most people are on mastodon
If they were shutting down their mastodon instance but continuing their efforts to work on Social Media that is open and not just an instrument of Surveillance Capitalism, you'd have a point.
But they didn't. They shut down the instance because of some internal political struggle and their interest in becoming an ad company themselves.
The only redeeming feature about this is that it only looks about as awful as any other social media.
Which is not very redeeming at all, of course.
Good, i hope they don't bother with the Fediverse. Corporations can fuck off out of our people spaces.
