Don’t have time to get into it now, but I’m on team “make the fediverse so great that it attracts more people,” and not team “yell at those who use big social.”

Things I ask myself:
- Have we done everything to make it super easy to join Mastodon and find great follows?
- What do organizations need in order to experiment on Mastodon?
… etc.
