It's always amusing to read the HN comments about anything Mastodon, with Silicon Valley types being perpetually confused about how people are perfectly happy to pay for their social media, they just don't want to pay *them* for it, and they just cannot seem to grasp why that is

Oh, and the usual smattering of 'investors' seemingly genuinely not understanding why Mastodon exists if they can't make money off it

These people are completely detached from reality, I swear
