As someone that's had a mastodon account since a few years before elon purchased twitter. I was excited to see the growth of the fediverse from the Elon-Twitter kerfuffle. And I'm excited to see the fediverse grow with the Reddit kerfuffle. The fediverse feels like what the Internet should be -- FOR EVERYONE. Not owned by billionaires or corporations.
