Here's your regular reminder that Mastodon doesn't run ads, isn't run by venture capital, and doesn't sell your data.
If you enjoy your stay at mastodon.social, or enjoy the work Gargron and I do with Mastodon, feel free to drop $1 on the patreon!

If Patreon isn't your thing, and you want a free option have a look at Liberapay
@maloki Mastodon doesn't, but individual instances can. Also, the protocols allows a great deal of access to data that you otherwise would need to buy.
So, while you are saying is true (and indeed one of the main reasons I use this system) it does not mean that your activity on the network won't be tracked.
Just remember to not post things you don't want to be public and linked to your identity (unless you go through the effort of being anonymous using Tor or such service)
