I think that the author of this and I can just agree to disagree, which is OK with me. I am on mastodon https://mastodon.social/@mark_watson https://mastodon.social/@mark_watson and I get a lot of value from it. re: “I’m privacy-friendly; please donate”: I donate but don't mind identifying myself. If you want anonymity then don't donate to whoever runs the server that you use. You are free to follow and un-follow (if you see toxic material) as you wish. I hope that I don't sound like I am lecturing or otherwise being obnoxious, but if you don't think that the large Internet platform companies have too much power then I recommend reading "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power" and "privacy is Power." The great thing about the Internet is that anyone can get a domain, get creative, share their stuff, meet people, make business acquaintances, etc. I see the Fediverse as another tool to use.
