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.

Some more discussions happening here:

I believe governance is generally an important for the health of an OSS project.

@kiview This is helpful context! Have you seen any more recent discussion (i.e., since the #twittermigration raised the stakes)?
