@mathias From my perch here in the US, temporarily held captive by a fascist regime funded by American tech and corporate giants, let me give a hardy salute to our European friends who are - by necessity - breaking away from these companies. They've brought all this on themselves. Google and their ilk deserve every bit of the financial harm coming to them. If Europe builds viable competing tech platforms I'll be jumping ship. I absolutely love its social media alternative! #mastodon
