      Mastodon totally allows NSFW content. Maybe Threads doesn’t, but why trade one deranged billionaire tech overlord for another?

      Mastodon has some problems. It’s slow, the “instances” concept is confusing, discoverability is poor, and the UI isn’t as nice as Threads.

      Still worth making the jump for the sake of community governance.

      Twitter was destroyed by the governance problem. It proves how we can’t ignore the governance structure of the places we invest our time anymore.

      But yeah, I’m very disappointed how many people who hate Musk’s changes to twitter – even trans people – are staying there.

      Many artists have been hedging their bets the last few months, mirroring their content on Mastodon and BlueSky, so that when Twitter/X/Whatever it’s called now goes under/is closed/goes subscription only/is locked behind the blockchain, they don’t lose their fans, supporters, donators, and commissioners.
