   I don't know anything about this instance or its community, but I like this section of its About page. It feels like a human being talking about what they're willing to do for other humans.
   The way corporate platforms communicate (or fail to) has really skewed our understandings of what kinds of relationships we get into with them. Human communication like this feels like it's recalibrating that a bit, to something better and more like a future I'd like to live in.

     @jplebreton I'm the admin of that instance, thank you very much for your incredibly kind words. I've seen too many companies overpromise or renege on promises, and I've seen the harm that's caused especially to creators and artists. The worst thing I could do is cause more anxiety for those people who use social media to survive. It's my hope that speaking earnestly about it encourages trust.

     (And if any creators see this and need a Mastodonian home, feel free to apply on that page!)
