mastodon 4.7.3Israel's actions in Gaza are inhumane, and deserve universal condemnation.

The "I'm not interesting" argument is a form of defeatism, and like all defeatism, it is emotionally appealing. It is simple, and it gives weary people a way to feel sophisticated.
However satisfying it may be, however, it's not true: mass surveillance includes the "insignificant;" it is practical, and it is being done, now.
The Snowden scandals showed us UPSTREAM/MUSCULAR/PRISM etc. over 13 years ago. Imagine today, with this US administration. #privacy

Presence on Mastodon demonstrates to a wide audience a sense of sophistication and commitment to important values, unlike use of retrograde platforms that everyone agrees are simplistic, manipulative, and generally contemptible.
You are signalling something valuable by using Mastodon, but only if people can see that you do so.
