Mastodon should ask you to pick a "moderator" not an "instance".

The latter is obscure technical detail. The former is about people, and power, and explainable to anyone.

"You pick which person or organisation you want to decide who and what is banned. You can change it later."

@moh_kohn I love #foss and the open web but must say I agree. Much like do-good non profits the branding isn’t right. Most people agree that Adobe is evil but the foss alternative to Photoshop is similarly named to a kind of leathered, submissive, play partner.

@zahntron @moh_kohn Yeah, unfortunately branding matters, even when you're not trying to turn a profit...
A few years ago I knew how to operate aforementioned not-photoshop, but I've forgotten now and, tbh, the way layers work is less than intuitive. Its a good and powerful programme, but it needs some QoL alterations.

@QueenVagabond @moh_kohn 100% I have heard there have been some improvements in the last couple months so I’m going to revisit it but I have found #krita does a lot of great things I used to do in Photoshop.

@zahntron @moh_kohn Krita, eh? Ooh, I'll check it out!
