@MoiraEve, thank you. ElMo's take over is not my only motivation. My motivations are well described here " moving to Mastodon can create the opportunity for a new culture with new habits, manners and etiquette. A culture that's hopefully less toxic, less status-driven, less clout-grubbing and less conducive to the 'braindead microphone'.

@OpenEd absolutely! Probably every 15 years or so we should reinvent our means of social media.
