It occurs to me that, when I first joined Mastodon, I was keen for the big accounts on Twitter to come over so it could feel like a proper replacement.
But here I am, almost eighteen months later somewhat glad that they didn’t. Because bigger accounts means corporate accounts, means advertising and bullshit. And there’s none of that.
No Burger King account throwing corporate shade at McDonald’s for The Numbers and “LOL”s.
It’s nice.
