I want to share the important message @Mastodon sent out on Patreon (slightly paraphrased):

"Many of you sought an open, secure social media alternative, and joined #Mastodon. Today, with the recent #USelection results, our work is more important than ever. The scenario of turning #X / #Twitter into an ‘app for everything’, following the Chinese example of #WeChat, was previously blocked by regulations. Once #ElonMusk has privileged access to the Whitehouse, those hurdles may fall."
