   Don't post on Twitter.

   The content and connections that you are investing there are supporting an abusive system.

   Post that content here.

   Bring your connections here.

   There, you are small, and you are a commodity.

   Here, you are important, and you are a person.

   You know all this.

   If you feel compelled to open Twitter, investigate that compulsion.

   You've heard that algorithmic apps can cause addictive behavior.

   Is that what you're doing?

   And if so, shouldn't you stop?

     Don't bullshitting people! Here in the Fediverse, in particular on any instance that is part of the Mastodon network, you are no less small and a commodity than on Twitter. You're neither important nor a person, but at the whims of admins decide with whom you can interact and with whom not. Perhaps it's different on the other projects (gnusocial, friendica, etc.), but here, in the Mastodon network, you're as much in a silo as on Twitter. Again: Stoip biullshitting people.

     Don't bullshit people! Esp. on any instance that is part of the Mastodon network, you are no less small and a commodity than on Twitter. You're neither important nor "a person", but at the whims of admins who decide by fiat and without accountability with whom you can interact and with whom not. Perhaps it's different on the other projects (gnusocial, friendica, etc.), but in the Mastodon network, you're as much in a silo as on Twitter. Again: Stop bullshitting people.
