Mastodon.social's continued growth as a percentage of the Fedi is (IMHO) worrying, I did a thread about this: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/115492120189076969

@keith @ikuturso @homegrown So anyone who uses platforms you don't like or wants exposure doesn't make quality music? That seems a bit ignorant.
Also, i come from a time in the 80s and 90s where i personally made cassette tapes, handed them out, made my own CD's, got them in record stores myself by talking to shop owners, released a single on a floppy disc, made enhanced A/V and enhanced mp3/audio hybrid cd's and got my stuff played on local radio... all on my own.
@keith @ikuturso @homegrown Digital distribution is just another outlet for indie musicians to get heard and possibly grow their fan base and/or profit from their work.
That should be obvious but it sounds more like you have strong negative opinions on anyone doing things in any way you don't like so there's not really much to discuss here given that.
I'm talking about artists having options, you're here to demean them should they use them.
