If Mastodon diehards want this to be The Next Place after Twitter, the move is to bend over backwards to listen to disabled and Black community about what they do and don't need in social media space.

Even if it's challenging.

Even if it makes you uncomfortable.

These are power user communities, whether folks like it or not.

@gwensnyder Sadly a lot want it not to be that. They want it to be their private gated suburban retirement community where you can only chat about "pleasant" things. They're happy to sit around eating lotuses while the world burns.
@dalias @gwensnyder I think we can find a middle ground between not discussing important issues at all, and constant doomscrolling. A lot of us just don't want that constant toxicity here.
