Except you're not left with Torba as your only option. He never was, nor will he ever be your only option. Half of the most recent posts on this thread have literally been talking about the superiority of the Fediverse as compared to "alt tech" platforms like Gab and Parler. Gab is built off of Mastodon right now, for fuck's sake!
The Fediverse, as a whole, is fucking massive with
thousands of nodes for you to choose from (
some of which have been curated for people new to the idea of federated social networking) and it has so much content that's generated by users throughout the fucking world. Because of the federated model, you're basically 100% immune to deplatforming of any kind since there's hundreds upon thousands of instances to choose from, all of which are able to communicate with one another (on paper). If you're so technically inclined, you can easily set up a Pleroma instance on a Raspberry Pi and federate with literally
any instance you wish. Why then, would you want to herald a literal manchild and his incompetent InfoSec team as your
only option when superior alternatives, backed by literal standards boards exist?
