My only real problem with Mastodon is its presentation of material. Never really liked Twitter, didn’t like the individual focus. This? I like. Interests are abstracted from the individual.

Yeah, I think part of the “back to the office” push is coming from companies that aren’t smart enough to objectively measure productivity. That, or they’re using “return to office” as a way to pressure certain employees into quitting (which seems to be the case here).
