Twitter, Facebook, etc., however, are bloodsucking leeches, and I want nothing to do with anything like them. I hear good things about Mastodon; never used it. Just so long as it respects users' privacy, is secure, decentralized, GNU/Linux free/libre (or at least compatible with these), and can be used over Tor (and/or VPNs, for those who prefer), then it sounds good. We need to keep moving forward, right? Otherwise, the project dies. Whatever will keep us moving forward, while sticking with those basic values: that sounds like a good idea.
