I buy the take that a goal of buying Twitter was to stop progressive movements that were organizing there.
These movements were and are changing the world for the better.
The fediverse needs to be built to be their forever home: a place to join together across borders to make the world better for everyone, with equal opportunities for all.
I still, despite everything, after all this time, believe this is the promise of the internet.
I want to see a fediverse server that handles Events well. Facebook did events very well, and I don't think anybody else has even tried. This might take some extensions to ActivityPub, but I think an events implementation needs:
* All the vcalendar semantics
* Invites
* RSVPs
* RSVPing to an event adds it to your calendar, which can be accessed as an ical feed.
* All events put out by a single source can be accessed as an ical feed.
This would really help groups organize!
Although I haven't had a chance to try it out, the events & groups tool for the Fediverse is currently Mobilizon. https://joinmobilizon.org/en/
It would be nice if Masto and Mobilizon were integrated together. Maybe they already are?
