Okay here's a real toot that you can actually boost without people looking at you like you're crazy.

The past few weeks (okay, ever since the schism) I've felt kind of disenchanted by Mastodon and especially its development environment, and I wrote an essay about why that is. It's long, but if you're interested in Mastodon's history or politics you should give it a read.
Reading this drives home that, as much as I use this as a "safe space" away from mainstream social media for listening and talking to fellow educators, many folks don't get to choose a "safe space". I remain grateful for what @Gargron has contributed to get Mastodon going, but I need to recognize those who have sustained this community as well.
Thank you, Allie. I am listening, and I am considering. @u2764
