Comment on Mastodon isn’t just a replacement for Twitter

Comments

I've seen a lot of people migrating to POST.

There's a waiting list while the devs are frantically in the middle of actually writing it.

I see famous journalists and celebrities talking about it, but not really any ordinary people. If "can be purchased by a crazed billionaire and taken over by nazis [1]" is now something we have to worry about, the financial model of Post does not seem to have any particular protection against that, where it took money from Andreessen Horowitz [2] just to get started - the same people who helped [3] Musk take over Twitter.

It's the new Clubhouse. Oh hey, that's Andreessen Horowitz, too.

Isn’t post the one where they tried to pretend that making fun of billionaires was on par with racism?
