Sure, but it's a business ran by billionaires looking to make a profit. Why is a nonprofit concerned with them? What do they want there? I don't think fedi should be chasing billionaires to get their buy in because they will change the system to extract profit from the users.

And, I'm sorry, it doesn't help that I'm really suspicious of the nonprofit "social armor" effect after seeing ChatGPT and WordPress recently. It's hard not to assume individual profit and power motives are at play here more than anything else when billionaires are held up as valid actors in an independent space.

I completely agree. I wondered how this place ran without ads. As soon as I registered, on an email I had no spam on, I have been suddenly receiving 10 or more spam emails a day.

I have gone without social media before. Not a problem to do it again. I came back from another server and I regret my new choices. This new blue sky thing, it's the antithetical to what the fediverse is supposed to be

I pay a small amount to support my instance and I've never seen spam from this place. (Edit: these facts are in no way related.)

Honestly, the more i learn about Mastodon.Social the more i want to defederate from it. I often wonder what the leaders there think Mastodon is for.
