I shoulda done this months ago but, this being the first day of my winter break, I finally have time for… Moving to Mastodon

Unlike many of you here, I don’t have particularly fond memories of Twitter. It’s there, I use it, whatever. However, I’m outraged that one utter bawbag can do this much damage just because he’s rich *sigh*
