1) Elon Musk is not on it
2) No advertising ever
3) See #1
4) Nobody can buy it out
5) You get to choose a community with rules you like and agree with, and if that changes, you can move to another community
6) Bad behaviour actually gets actioned here
7) See #3
8) No algorithms deciding what you see and when - just pure content
9) A FAR more wholesome community with genuine support, including financial, for artists (people here like buying art!)
10) See #7
