Jeffrey Bouter<p>A few months ago, due to some drama going on at <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fosstodon</span></a>, I decided to move elsewhere. I made a mistake, because I didn't give Fosstodon admins a proper chance to turn things around, and they clearly have. I regret jumping ship too soon, and I've decided to own up to my mistake and move back, as the Fosstodon ideals align with my own ideals very much.</p>

Cristian Rasch 🇦🇷 🇺🇾<p>I'll let you in in a little secret: you can live a totally happy &amp; balanced life w/o dipping your toes too far in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a>.
