  Lately, it’s harder and harder to see a difference between Mastodon and Bluesky, as both are full of VC ghouls now.

    I guess that depends on the Mastodon server you are on.

      I’m on a great instance, but that doesn’t help if the instance uses Mastodon software and not a hard fork.

        ah well, it’s open source and running on hundreds of different servers already… i’m not too worried about it turning into Java or something…

    I tried saying that on the thread about mastodon announcing they were making a non profit and I got mass down voted

      Knowing what we know now that some Mastodon instances will get paid by Meta for federating with Threads, is it that surprising?

    So where do we go to now?

    • BrikoX@lemmy.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      gotosocial.org is the most popular alternative, but they are still in alpha stage. I’m open to see and wait how things turn out, but the moves Mastodon is making are not encouraging so far.

        It’s …interesting …cause this seems against Mastodons original principles.
