It wasn't about why I hate Musk or Mastodon. Your claim was that if you argue against Mastodon, you're actually just a Musk lover, or if you argue for Mastodon, you just do it because you hate Musk. I can dislike Musk and think that he's making Twitter worse, and still think that Mastodon is a shitty social network. Those things are not related. But if I dislike both, I'm supposed to not "argue Twitter vs. Mastodon"? It doesn't make any sense.

No, my claim was specifically about "arguing Twitter vs. Mastodon".

Exactly! That's my point. They are entirely separate issues that are too often conflated.

If you dislike both, then it doesn't make any sense to argue Twitter vs. Mastodon. It's a false dichotomy.
