“Mastodon? Why use a free decentralized option when I can give my data to a billionaire?” - People around me.

There are some advantages to a centralized platform, I hope them being a “public benefit corporation” (haven’t had time to study what that means nor much desire cause it’s probably a U.S. thing), but as long as it doesn’t get enshittifed that’s still a net win.

Although obviously this won’t be a popular opinion on a decentralized platform like Lemmy.

I’ll use this along with Signal (which is non profit), in hopes that it’s impossible for them to sell out/sell our data/sell ads.
