I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.
@Gargron this is important. Very important. However, as this election has shown, the 'negative choice' is not enough. #Mastodon needs to be the positive choice. With features, innovations and services that go beyond what others are offering, and entice people to come and to stay.
Of course that's not just up to you or the GmbH, but the things people create around this. But you can help in setting the culture, and creating joy in the core apps and services.
@Setok @Gargron I actually have been keeping an eye on #GoToSocial instead because they are adding a lot of unique features.
I've had a look at #GoToSocial , and while it looks interesting I think most social media users will want to avoid hosting their own instances and prefer to join an existing system.
