Cleaning up my podcast feed as, one after another, people who's livelihood depends on Twitter existing talk about how awful Mastodon is
@datatitian absolutely, cannot help but roll my eyes when ostensibly leftist folks decide that an unmonetized platform is bad because they don't have 100k follows here
@gayesian those ones are so frustrating, like "I'm a major voice for the left but I'm going to keep giving free labor to Elon Musk and encouraging all my audience to do the same because I heard a rumor I didn't fully understand about mods reading DMs"
@datatitian are they not allowed to have opinions and preferences, or call out the main barrier to entry to non-techy people?
@datatitian
Livelihood. Well, I suppose that, if true is somewhat understandable. I have seen similar sentiment recently but with where it was ego or reason for existing depending on twitter. All of it is a sad state of affairs.
