We need to realize that #mastodon is bigger then #twitter.
- Grandness/greatness is not a question of size
- bigger size doesn't mean better
- harrasment is a sign of weakness not grandness
- capitalist structures aren't big, they are bugs
...and we're fixing it to make it bigger.
We call it the #fediverse

let's publish our remarks with the tag #socialistbookclub, since here on mastodon we got long ass statuses with room for cumbersome tags #socialism

i hope the liberals don't find out about mastodon
