Google+ shutting down is kind of large
I do hope they come to Mastodon and not yet another centralized silo 😇
@Gargron New features that would make Mastodon really attractive for that would be:
1. The ability to create a public or private “community” on a given instance, which a user on any instance could join (under the control of that community’s moderators) and post.
2. Longer-form posts composed in Markdown format, which would only show a snippet in the regular timeline but could expand into something bigger (taking up 2 columns in the regular UI).
@Gargron I’m also seeing enthusiasm for G+’s Collections feature, where people can subscribe to one person’s collection rather than their entire feed. So having the ability to follow someone, but only see posts with at least one of a set of hashtags, could replicate that in Mastodon.
