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. It has the GOOD elements of Twitter and Facebook and then some...(love the federation)...
2. For now its pretty good how it is...
3. I've talked to some, but I don't think people understand the good part without having tried it...

How can we explain the good parts of Mastodon so they understand to users who haven't tried it?

Oh, there is a small obstacle I see, its the existance of so MANY instances: people ask themselves where they should sign in? Maybe the answer is to have a centralized entry point for otherwise decentralized project, some central point where you can look up for the right place for you based on location/personal taste AND to stress out the basic irrelevance (in most cases) of such choice...

Just make a nice sounding url people will associate with Mastodon, other parts will come into place...
