     @christian_zerfass @Gargron If you buy a lot of shares that means you need to buy them from someone, which means you need to pay their spread, which means the market price goes up. This is how the stock market normally works.

     Interesting though that the Twitter share in response apparently surged up almost 10%, isn't it? Either shareholders thinking that a big marketing person has just entered the board of directors, or believing that lots other people will now want to buy Twitter shares.

     Anyway, I am by all means suprised....

     @Gargron yup, I’m dipping my toe in Mastodon waters to see if I can make the switch.

     @Gargron I've heard about this platform in the past, but this might become the moment when I find a new home here instead.

     @christian_zerfass @Gargron it's as if "platform stockholders' interests" and "platform users' interests" were largely not aligned. :thinksphere:
