His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

Even having ceded control, they will go down in history as a legend. More positively viewed then the likes of... other social media founders.

    Will anyone be better than Tom?

    Became everyone's friend, became a millionaire, retired, (so far?) avoided falling off the right wing conspiracy cliff. Kind of just a quiet dude.

    People's views typically tend to move slowly but what's the current progressive position tends to move much faster, so if he's young enough he'll probably eventually fall off the progressive treadmill.
