The @mastodon handle on X isn’t the Mastodon network—it’s just a user! The real social network’s account is @joinmastodon. Lucky snag for whoever got that username early.

Suspending Meta

I posted the below to my followers on Facebook.

I have made the very difficult decision to suspend posting on this (Meta/FB/IG) platform indefinitely.

Facebook and Instagram have been a home for me, a community, and my first steps into a world where I felt accepted and valued for who I was. However, I no longer believe the dominant culture of these platforms support the communities I care so deeply about. I cannot, in good conscience, normalize incivility while allowing Meta to generate revenue from content which I created, as they so blatantly cast aside standards meant to protect the very communities I cherish.

I would like to thank everyone who has been part of my extended family since sharing my adventures. I hope, in time, we can reconnect in other spaces that feel and are actually safe. Until then, please remember, I love you.

P.S. My other social links mattdobbins.com
