Them: "But I heard that on Mastodon, the mods can read your DMs!" 😲

Me: "I've got news for you about Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc..."

It’s about time we showed up here.

We’re The Markup, a nonprofit newsroom that’s skeptical about Big Tech. And there’s a lot to be skeptical about right now.
