Yesterday Gargron helped me get his take on the project, so that I can write a mission statement. But, I would also love to hear your take, so I can combine the two into our collective statement.

This is me trying to be more transparent with the process.

Feel free to help me answer these questions:
1. What does Mastodon mean to you?
2. Where do you want to see the project go?
3. How do you talk about Mastodon with your friends?

1. To me Mastodon means revival of decentralized open-source social media. And chronological timelines aceDA.
2. I want to see the project take cold from websites with communities, to start integrating with a bigger social web. (Say Twitch, deviant art etc).
3. It's like Twitter, but like Email, but like... It's good okay! Just come, hang out, it's got New Car Smell!

Also, thank you to @Rushyo who pushed my thoughts into action, of asking ya'll what you thought in the matter.
This was clearly the right decision. You should really follow them, because they like poking holes on thought patterns!

@maloki 1. It's our shot at breaking our social circles free from proprietary lock-in. I live away from most of my friends and nowadays I can only interact with them via FB. :( We need to reclaim our friendships from corporate control.
2. I want to see it continue to reach non-techie audiences. I think this is the first decentralized initiative that "gets it". The Argentine surge makes me hopeful.
3. "It's open, doesn't belong to a company, it has web/Android/iOS UIs, it's growing fast!"
