I think it's super important that we realize that Mastodon isn't "the next Twitter / Tumblr / whatever". It's not there yet. I was on the ground floor when people were "migrating" to Google Plus, and that went so horribly because we all thought it was gonna kill Facebook tomorrow.
We won't kill *anything* unless we make this a place people want to come to by 1) keeping all oppressors out and 2) making good community / context / posts
@ben_c > make this a place people want to come to by 1) keeping all oppressors out
Ha ha no. Building a wall around your garden and instituting checkpoints on entry isn't likely to make it a popular place to visit for *everybody*. Look at every historical attempt.
