Dude reread that post.
“I hope this takes off and makes the Nazi platform irrelevent….but not for $20. I’m okay with Nazis for $20.”
I hope that Mastodon takes off and makes the Nazi platform irrelevant. For free. Independently of corporate and investor goodwill.

$20 isn't just $20 in most countries around the world.
For some it is more than they can make in a month. Tho those people probably never seen the Internet.
