   • Xie Lian's Big Naturals

   @xieliansbignaturals when Elon bought Twitter, I had a moment of clarity.

   AO3 was founded because fanfic kept getting kicked off other platforms. At the time, there was a fandom rallying cry of "we have to own the servers!"

   I thought: what if "we have to own the servers!" but social media?

     @xieliansbignaturals @admintabby I stay here, and have little desire to try any other platforms, cos blorbo.social is kinda tailored to be almost exactly what I want from social media.

     I'm really happy that we have a community (on this instance and other fannish instances) that feel similarly.

     Having no ads is huge for me. Ads mess with my brain and make me unhappy.
