Things the community can do to make Mastodon better.
1. Quit being overly defensive of valid criticism of Mastodon

Things Mastodon can do to make Mastodon better
1. Make passive profile discovery better. I am literally following people I find interesting in comments I read, but this is an active task.

NPR is the only major journalism org to have shown a spine in dealing with Musk. So he's threatened to give the NPR username to someone else.
