I'll admit that I am a little bit (pleasantly!) surprised by the early results of this poll: 70% of people donated to a fediverse admin at least once. That's great!
I am on a journey looking for justice for the oppressed, subjugated, attacked, and harassed. I believe #SocialMedia will be the place to make this happen.
That being said, if you allow me to be your friend, I promise that I will definitely annoy you at some point.
I am she/her and believe that every person has the inherent right to bodily autonomy.
I am easily entertained and enjoy knowing people who are good at what they do. If they do good also, that's 🔥

The Twitter alternative - #Mastodon | Express Tribune
I started working on the Netizen’s Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse exactly two months and a day ago. It's been a fun way to learn more about the diverse fediverse community. Go check it out if you haven't seen it in a while, plenty of new polls!

Handing over established accounts to third parties poses a serious risk of impersonation and could imperil a company's reputation, said social media experts."
I wish I never got exposed to any #SocialMedia. I was a late #Facebook adopter & it didn’t take me long to feel depressed because of all my friends faked charmed lives. Then I found out my overseas cousin, who I was fond of, turned out to be an annoying asshole. I had a friend stalk me around Facebook & comment to every post I made. After 3 years I dumped FB.

Since it there is bipartisan support for holding #socialmedia companies accountable I can accept a ban on #tiktok if it comes to be by our president even if I don't agree with it.
