Somebody tell this guy about Mastodon.
Also worth noting that this article is about the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, not Cambridge, England nor the University of Cambridge. They still apparently thrive in the gutter.
Judging by the quote, they're likely going to bluesky. They will say that mastodon has a too restricted reach. It's like a pattern. Every time I see someone coming with that "there's no ethical [thing] under capitalism", instead of promoting the anticapitalist things or the most ethical choices, they use the phrase to justify using another capitalist thing.
Right.
“We hate capitalist oligarchs which is why we are moving to another oligarch-owned platform.”
It’s all so tiresome.
