    Something tells me they were paid to move to one of the other proprietary platforms.

        I guess we’ll see if they choose Mastodon or one of the proprietary platforms.

        You must be woefully innocent if you think people aren’t paid to switch and promote different platforms.

        I recommend looking into how Red Bull got big. They literally paid influential people on college campuses to shill their product to people who can’t think for themselves.

          Uh, your comment doesn’t make sense. Mastodon is part of the fediverse and is Foss.

            Choosing Mastodon would be okay.

            Here, just for you ❤️: I guess we’ll see if they choose Mastodon, or one of the proprietary platforms.
