Mastodon is secretly sponsored by a cartel of cat food and cat toys manufacturers. Its main purpose is to get you to want a cat in your household so they can sell you more of their stuff. And it is working quite well, as far as I can see.
And that's why Mastodon/ActivityPub will always beat Bluesky and other services. Smart stuff. Really smart stuff ;)

After almost 9 months of observation, here's a "funny" correlation. Every time I post (and you good people like/boost) my blog post on "residential proxies" that really are just botnets for hire, some other folks decide to turn exactly these botnets on my mail server for a few days. So please, keep linking/boosting to make sure I can catch and block them all ;) The attached screenshots are around 25% from the list for today after I linked to my post in a reply yesterday.
