So, over the weekend, I’ve been talking a lot about the need to take Mastdon into a new community-focused direction, so I took time to write down some thoughts.

Spread this far and wide because it’s time for us to do something else.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments (in good faith) because this is a convo we need to have.

And I’m ready to get started today.

A Case for Community

Because it should be easy.

@are0h « From that point, organizing people who want to be contributors and/or funders will take place to form the core governance that will create new standards that will define how the work will progress and standardize community involvement. »

be careful here; i think most attempts at building more community involvement in the fediverse burn out at this step. history has shown that there are people on Mastodon who are very skilled at manipulating governance systems to ensure that work never gets done.

@u2764 @are0h Yeah, building community is hard, especially pluralistic community. Manipulators and power grabbers are everywhere, to stop or to take over what you've done. Worth a try though.
