I don’t plan on keeping my (Twitter, Inc.’s) Twitter account open for much longer so if you’d like to keep following me, check out my (really mine, as in I own and control it) Mastodon (https://mastodon.ar.al ) and get started with Mastodon athttp://joinmastodon.org

I trust Twitter fully. I trust it to do what its funding and business model demands: to farm people, extract value from them, and to manipulate their behaviour for profit.

Do you think livestock get anything from a factory farm? They get housed and fed. But to what end?

But you have 48k followers, you can just publish whatever content you are producing?

On Twitter/FB, the number of followers/“friends” you have is a meaningless statistic since they have algorithmic, not chronological timeliness. So they decide who sees & who doesn’t see what you publish. On Mastodon, I may have 4K people instead of 48K but they all get my posts.

* timelines, even (oh, and also, on Mastodon you have a nifty “delete and redraft” feature for typos) :)
