Like many, I've been re-trying Mastodon and can be found via @noise@abitrandom.net (alias to @noise@hachyderm.io). So far I'm finding it a lot more usable than my initial attempt many moons ago.

Rewatching DS9 and came to the realization that R voters are like the Ferengi – Rom says: "You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters." (S04E16 "Bar Association")
