Mastodon creator @Gargron on Elon Musk:
“I specifically disagree with his stance on free speech, because I think that it depends on your interpretation of what free speech means. If you allow the most intolerant voices to be as loud as they want to, you’re going to shut down voices of different opinions as well. So allowing free speech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech, it just leads to a cesspit of hate.”

@daveleeFT Well that was "interesting". In order to "boost" your "toot", I had to copy the web address of the toot and paste it in the search box on the server where I am logged in.
Now I can reply to the post (I would also have needed to jump through the copy-paste hoop in order to "just reply") and I'm not even sure whether you will see this reply or whether it shows up to other people reading your "toot"? 😕
If this is also how it works on mobile, #mastodon is not going to be replacing #twitter any time soon...
@petetaylor It isn't how it works on mobile (& desktop).
