   Unfortunately, Twitter has a huge critical mass of users and functions
   as a (publicly traded) public utility. News programs read tweets live
   on TV. Politicians post statements via tweets too. Earthquake reports
   come out first via Twitter before official alerts come out - also on
   Twitter.
   As for Mastodon,

     Why is this hard?
     A lot of serious people are now looking for an exit from twitter.
     The ones I see are asking about Mastadon.
     The FSF front page is a bunch of dust stuff about libreplanet,
     and they evince no concerted, organized activity to stand up
     instances and education materials -- to move people to Mastadon.
     Why else do they exist?  It is not enough to "have a position"
     on twitter.  Get to the barricades.
     I have long been troubled that FSF has devolved to the kind of
     NPO that exists mainly to provide jobs for the people who
     operate it, and not to serve a useful social function.
     Here we have today a clear circumstance in which they can
     prove me wrong.
