> The Why: Twitter Is in the Outrage Business; Mastodon Isn't a Business
This section casting twitter as being in "the outrage business" but mastadon not being a business at all doesn't quite sit right.
Even though mastodon "the open source project" is "not a business", there is an entity behind it accepting $ for it's development[1] and presumably has control over the rules by which the main line development occurs and controls the brand "mastadon" and its website.
I think that section would be more useful and convincing if folks behind mastadon discussed how the money flows in twitter cause it to be in the "outrage business" and how the Mastadon maintainer's money flows solve those problems.
