Probably good time to link an article I wrote about how Mastodon's privacy/abuse features differ from Twitter's: https://medium.com/@Gargron/learning-from-twitters-mistakes-c272d67bba76

I also wrote about why organizations should want to host Mastodon instances: https://medium.com/@Gargron/two-reasons-why-organizations-should-switch-to-self-hosting-social-media-9a1bbac45b69

@Gargron I think there is an opportunity for activist groups like BLM, animal rights groups, and any others who are silenced by mainstream platforms to host their own instances. I'm silently working on the animal liberation one in the background; the news ability to see a local timeline is killer and brings so much value. Next is convincing activists why Twitter/Facebook is evil and why their privacy matters.

@mkosler @alexgleason It's better for megaphone purposes, but I am not sure it's better when secrecy is required (encryption &co)
