A polite reminder to people on here who like to proclaim:
"At this point if you're still on Twitter you are [some variant of horrible person]"
If you are a small creator - artist, writer, whatever - then right now Mastodon DOES NOT deliver equivalent reach-based income. People do not tip as much and the lack of QT significantly damages creator reach.
Being able to forsake income is a privilege. Your options are not someone else's options. Please be open-minded to that.
