Seeing @robinince leaving mastodon. He's an ally, and public voice for the progressive and leftist ideas much of mastodon tries to embody..It feels like mastodon is still overly "tech leaning". Even the non-tech communities tend to be techies discussing hobbies, side hustles or "aspirational non-tech" activities. There's a touch of the IRCs about discussions around how to engage (it's not us, your expectations are wrong). And many are in denial around the darker corners out here.
