RE: https://mastodon.world/@davidho/116068348762525134

We should insist, that Mastodon is more like doom-it-yourself scrolling, than classical corporate doomscrolling.

(Well, I am afraid, that we, compared to META, are more something like garage meth-lab compared to cocaine dealers, but anyway... I hope, that only commercial #doomscrolling is going to be banned, and that our own grow-your-own small scale doomscrolling will remain legal, at lest for personal use...)
