  1. We're on the Web. So... it feels kinda fig leafy at best.

    I can't build the technical side, but I can and will promote the social side, from which comes the subscription money to make it all happen.

    Vigilance is needed. I am skeptical that open source will lose out in terms of QoL to a corporate newcomer _that isn't already dominant in the field_.

    If Meta goes that route, they'll target large institutions with their app which have ready userbases and a (perceived) lack of in-house know-how.

    So the key weaknesses are:
    Single developer pace of app
    Lack of reach to organisations

    People with firm views on governance and the ins and outs of Mastodon then follow:

    Old Mastodon hand and experienced harassment dealer @Are0h is working on interesting anti-harassment tools.

    Well-established critics range from fairly firmly anti-mastodon @shengokai to the more invested @futurebird

  4. 1. Networks matter. The bigger your network the better it is at getting stuff done. Without the welcoming nature of Mastodon.ie I would not be here.

    2. Delighting in Mastodon being irrelevant and hard to use is a privileged take. Fascism is a real threat. It in turn is threatened by people being able to talk to each other across nations and boundaries. That's why Musk had _backers_ for his money bonfire

    3. Don't delight in bad design

    Creating new safety tools which, if I understand correctly will help first time admins run safer servers? Hoping to migrate to full time developer?

    Sounds like a great plan!

    Interesting stuff.

    I've seen people talking about Google zerg rushing the fedi by giving everyone with a Gmail account free Mastodon (although Gmail is costing them a _lot_ of money).

    Twitter founders looking to recreate Twitter using Mastodon, by say, building in QTs and a slick interface and better onboarding would be a challenge.

  7. However, I am overall optimistic about #Mastodon, #Fediverse and the #MastodonFuture.

    In current circumstances, it stands alone and the only obstacle to its growth and bringing a better experience of the Internet and social media to more people is itself, developers and early users.

    But that's part of the game.

    Thankyou very much for this thoughtful and nuanced analysis of the studies around QT and QT behaviour.

    I think it is relevant to discussions of:

    So err.. wow, you're doing a lot there! Good job!

    If this is annoying LMK and I'll delete.

  9. @bleary2k I'm going to whack #MastodonFuture here because I like a good prediction me. 😀

    How to support:
