I would be thankful if people would stop mentioning Twitter. Just let the platform burn to the ground and fade into irrelevance.

I would be even more thankful if Google News would replace their "From Twitter" section with a "From Mastodon" or a "From Social Media" section.

Google and every other tech company are desperate to justify a pay to play internet model because when people realize all this shit can be run cheaply and without ads they are toast. So ya, they will never promote mastodon or the fedverse
