    Let me spin that for you so you see the problem.

    Mastodon, the social network backed by terrorists. By signing up, you put your name on a FBI watchlist as well.

    edit: I didn’t make it clear that this would be the spin that would be possible to use against mastodon. It’s not true, but it doesn’t have to be to cause harm.

      Fair point.

      Redirect it to Blue Sky instead.

        It wasn’t true. I wasn’t even trying to deceive anyone, but the problem is that people will mostly believe without asking for sources if they don’t care. I put an edit above now.
