Yes, it kind of is hypocritical to ask this on a social media platform, but what do you guys get out of it?

    I think commercial social media is literally ruining the world. I decided to be active on here to give alternative platforms legs to walk on. Every single post and comment here makes a significant contribution to stick it to the man - it’s a slightly more viable alternative with every user. Well, maybe except the assholes.

    On Mastodon, I post for professional self promotion/reach. Taxpayers pay me to write stuff, so I owe it to them to try to communicate it back in open channels.

      Commercial social media isn’t social, it is just another content delivery system.
