<p>Mastodon isn't perfect.</p><p>But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use</p><p>has no venture capital investors</p><p>has no shareholders to answer to</p><p>has no growth targets</p><p>with a web interface with zero tracking cookies</p><p>and mobile apps with zero trackers at all </p><p>with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety </p><p>is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.</p>
