It seems a bit dubious to trust twitter with my data anyway?

Mastodon at least is not trying to shove politics and celebrities down my throat.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Enjoy Mastodon but be conscious of your federated benevolent dictator if you are not running your own instance.

No, but OP was arguing that lack of trust was reason not to use Mastodon. But if both Twitter and Mastodon both have the same trust issues then their argument is moot.

well, at least twitter is a well established, extremely visible corp. for a mastodon instance the list of questions is long and start with: who’s your hosting provider.

Oh yeah, that worked out great with the planet-destroying overlords that are the oil companies. No, this is a terrible heuristic.
