@grammargirl I so so completely agree. This Mastodon thingamabob can be the #PublicSpace that most of us wanted from the bird thing. Part #speakerscorner, part #Gossipping, part open mic. And a lot of other elements. Minus the algorithms.

There will be a constant pull toward commodification and monetization. Mastodon will always need well-intentioned developers and moderators and supporters. And there will be work when the "forces of darkness and chaos" come in to try and tear it down.

@schratze

I do not feel comfortable with the idea of #gossipping and never felt. Not in real world and even less in #cyberspace.

Why do you???
