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 and 3. Mastodon is a twitter alternative that is more prone to interesting conversations because of the higher character limit; it is Free Software and can be self-hosted; it is federated and can be community-managed at a very low level. The data is not monetised, the privacy controls are spot on, and there are no ads.
2. I want to see privacy, a healthy and welcoming community, the capacity to migrate and delete an account, and a very easy instance setup.
