I don't use Mastodon so I have no idea what's going on, but I am curious what y'all in this thread would want Mastodon to do.
Can't you set up an instance and moderate it to your preference like other federation style apps?
What specific features are you saying are needed to make Mastodon more usable for any community that might find itself feeling less than welcome?
Yes: all modern democracies.
That seems relevant to me, a disinterested observer. 🤷♂️
Not if the way it lasts a lifetime is by being made of the same material that wears off but being made of more of it. 🤷♂️
Western Psychopath CEOs.
Yes, but these ones are for-profit, see?
Yes: that helping isn't always easy or rewarded but that we do it anyway because it is what's right.
Jewell married Dana Jewell in 1998; they remained married until his death.[2] The couple relocated to a farm they bought together, south of Atlanta.[21] In 2001, Jewell was honored as the Grand Marshal of Carmel, Indiana's Independence Day Parade. Jewell was chosen in keeping with the parade's theme of "Unsung Heroes".[22] On each anniversary of the bombing until his illness and eventual death, he privately placed a rose at the Centennial Olympic Park scene where spectator Alice Hawthorne died.[23]
An example for others for sure.
Knights on Bikes?
The arbitrary criteria I spoke of is slightly different. 🤷♂️
If an "uncontacted" group here on earth suddenly arrived at the nearest "civilized" settlement and asked for help curing a disease ravaging their people, would you advocate we turn away?
What if the disease is something easily cured with modern medicine?
A blanket rule to not "interfere" with civilizations based on an arbitrary criteria (in ST: warp capable) is immoral.
How can Mastodon fix this? How is this a Mastodon issue vs. any kind of social media?
Mastodon is open source, as well, right? It feels like someone should be able to fork it if they're really ignoring useful features that would help people.
