My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.
@Gargron I like the sentiment. However, I personally like the idea of keeping things simple. To me that's the power of Instagram. If that app had all the trappings of FB, well then it would be a mess to look at and I would use it less. I feel like Masto is great for micro-blogging and community building, but I wouldn't want to add more clutter. I'd rather see others use ActivityPub to create things compatible with Masto. Letting users decide what's in their timeline.
