And you know who can never be used to make that money back?

US!

We're FREE.

Folks like BSKY, idk why. But they'll either stay or they'll leave. If they leave, they're not going back to Twitter. If they stay, maybe they don't know or maybe they don't know how good we are. Or maybe they have something we need.

How can we turn this into a strength to HELP people move over?

Bonfire is AMAZING imo. It's not Mastodon. We have so many options, we just need to convince folks that this way is better and we can suit them however they need.

I was at Red Hat when they were sold to IBM.

The CEO, Jim Whitehurst, that for some reason people saw as a god and didn't understand he didn't INVENT Linux or anything, was standing up there selling us the idea of the sale to IBM.

CEO's are only there to keep the business running. They're not there for the people, they're not there for the customers, they're there to make sure it just keeps humming along.

Even if they disagreed, they're not going to say it publicly. You know how much money that CEO job is making them? Say whatever, world be damned.

THIS is why they can't have this power.

They will ALWAYS convince themselves and anyone they can that this is BEST FOR ALL.

@geonz@mathstodon.xyz @_elena@mastodon.social those silly businesses would forget about the law if they weren't reminded! It happens to us ALL!

@benjamimsilva@social.vivaldi.net @_elena@mastodon.social He's foolish, he's not THAT foolish. He'd pay no more than $40 billion this time.

@Pouakai@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social if they ever do we still have the rest of the Fediverse.

I'm on my own private #Bonfire for my business and I LOVE IT.

ALL HAIL The First of HIS name, Founder of the TOOT TOOT, Creator of the meme of the elephant wetting itself that we all find hillarious, the greatest person to ever live, for realsies, JOHN MASTODON!

@_elena@mastodon.social I mean, I won't use BSKY EVER. I'm happy it exists for those that choose to. But we're going to keep seeing this over and over and over again. But I'm also happy because more folks that choose to use other platforms takes power away from Big Tech.

I think things like this show folks that BSKY is NOT the same as Mastodon or the fediverse in general. But I think most won't care and for those that DO care, do they care enough to move AGAIN?

And if they do, we know they won't be going to Twitter. Maybe a few will run their own whatever in the Fediverse or some will be empowered to build something themselves and make it better and AP is the only way to go really imo.

No matter what, thank you ALL for joining us on the #Fediverse because the ABOVE is the ONLY alternative that Capitalism sees and I'm happy to have REAL choice.
