Cory Doctorow on why he's on Mastodon and only Mastodon.
"Enshittification isn’t merely the result of greed or foolishness — it is the inevitable consequence of a captive userbase."

Cory Doctorow generally makes good points but I was disappointed that he didn't mention Mastodon when he was discussing this on BBC R4 a couple of weeks ago.

@Sarahw @asakiyume @JoshuaACNewman I did. They just didn't run that part of the interview.

Thank you, sorry to have blamed you, I should have known. Very disappointing by the BBC in that case.
I'm not sure if the BBC are still running their own Mastodon experiment, what a missed opportunity
@Sarahw @pluralistic @asakiyume @JoshuaACNewman I do follow BBC's news (by bot) from the around the World here on Mastodon. Still seems to work just fine. @bbcnewsfeed
@nichni @pluralistic @asakiyume @JoshuaACNewman @bbcnewsfeed
Yes, I follow that account, but it's not part of the BBC experiment
