As Mastodon grows, at some point there _will_ be a meltdown of some big instance into which tons of people put their trust and then the admin turns out not to be trustworthy (like the MtGox incident in Bitcoin). Even if it's a few hundred people affected, it will be major negative news.

People need to be educated about the role and power of instance admins.

@hisham_hm we need a non profit organization that can help support instance admins and developers. Something like the Linux Foundation but for Mastodon.

@druonysus that's an interesting concept!

@hisham_hm I really think we need this to ensure an open and successful future for Mastodon
