Time for Trump to use Mastodon.

Twitter was 'kind of' dying before Trump. Now its a pretty nice place with people to follow (Some sort of network effect?). But its too far from being open, requires phone number, lacks 'RSS' and etc.

I wish he moved to Mastodon. Decentralized, open source. It only needs users

That would be really funny.

Imagine all the devs and supporters of Mastodon trying hard to come up with a pretext why it is okay to block him from the network via technical changes.

It's pretty established that individual Mastodon nodes are able to impose the rules they want and network with whichever Mastodon nodes they want. And many popular Mastodon nodes have stricter rules than Twitter, so it would hardly be surprising if they shunned someone who broke rules on Twitter.

110% I wouldn't federate with any node that allows that sort of posting (from Trump or anyone else). I run a a mastodon node precisely because I don't want to deal with the racism, homophobia, and transphobia so common on twitter.

With how strange things have been lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps on TikTok.
