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. For me Mastodon means taking back control. Of my data, of the UI, of the ability to decide who I associate with.
Everyone can run their own instance or sign up on one that they trust and decide what kind of atmosphere they prefer. Mastodon is open, so everyone can see how it works exactly. There is no opaque non-chronological timeline or advertiser pressure to confuse and herd users.
With hundreds of different instances amazing and varied communities can form.
