This really is a good slogan, and I'm going to dissect that, in order to more fully appreciate it.

It's entirely because of the framing of the message. The whole perspective is centered on the relationships. It explicitly rejects that those relationships are transactional. But it then goes on to assume that those relationships bear some mutual duty to each other. I choose not to let my friendships be sold. And I infer from this that mastodon understands that mutual duty. They recognize they have some part in upholding it, and they choose to do so. Mastodon is a place where friendships are not for sale.

It's very good
