I am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.

Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.

That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.

@blaine @Gargron Mastodon is open source. You don't like the software and/or the organisation? Fork and manage it!

@pifa @Gargron I like Mastodon & Eugen's leadership has been huge! This is what I'm afraid of, because groups with significantly more resources and ultimately motives are going to win if we follow that model. This doesn't have to be a competition, we have the opportunity to make it a collaboration! ❤️

@blaine @Gargron But if we have good faith collaborative competition in the fediverse, it will be a robust protection against big tech influence. More software and organizational solutions strengthen the fediverse.
