@thomasfuchs @Gargron I've seen this conversation (and many like it) over the last few months, and I'm genuinely curious about something: The relationship between "underprivileged" and how these features help mitigate that in a social network context.
Are there some published essays/thinkpieces unpacking that? Intuitively it seems "weird" that the only difference between being on Mastodon, or not, for an underprivileged individual, is the ability to quote-toot.
