Mastodon improving the onboard experience is great. The wannabe fedi-police will be out in force against a default instance i’ve no doubt and I’ve already seen numerous complaints about it.

It’s not “growth for the sake of growth” or against the idea of decentralisation. It’s just a small basic change to improve the flow for new people to get people started. Good stuff.

Also quote toots coming, yay!

The history is against your optimistic vision: every centralization has gone to a monopoly or sort of.
The reasons were many, easy of use, war on spam, integration but the result is only one.
@leandro In France Mastodon has briefly been a duopoly with 2 instances having ~ 80% of users, but due to it causing a variety of issue French fédi go back to more decentralization. I'm confident the fédi will be able to fix problem has they arise @gamingonlinux
