Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use,
has no venture capital investors,
has no shareholders to answer to,
has no growth targets,
with a web interface with zero cookies,
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in.
Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
