I knew it was but but I didn't know it was that big.

On the one hand, I believe in the fediverse, so what am I doing here if I'm not gonna go all-in on it and open up registration? On the other hand, who do I trust on a technical level to hand over the keys to, who would also *want* that level of responsibility?
I know Mastodon is sort of inspired by it, but I've never been much of a Twitter user. I deleted my rarely used account after they started promoting NFTs. But if anyone is confused as to why people are fleeing Twitter, it's not because they're suddenly worried about big money controlling the 'town square'. It's because they know who #Musk is. They're worried about the increase in harassment that is coming. And to those people, I want to say we get it. #WelcomeToMastodon
Hello world, I'm Josh. I code stuff. I make exist.io, a thing for tracking data about yourself, but I'm against surveillance capitalism. I sometimes make pixel art, play guitar, and make bad computer music, but if past behaviour on twitter is any indication I'll probably be mostly ranting about billionaires and bad tech like NFTs.

@Gargron do you know if counter.social is still behaving in bad faith like they were a few years back? Seems like they might be getting attention again with all the Musk news.
