Mastodon is going from a cozy white suburb to a mixed-use downtown, and that's going to make it different, and better. There will be artist's lofts, and malls, and seedy parts of town that a lot of people decide to turn off. There might even be a parallel #EvilFediverse. Who knows?

I hope – a lot – that the fediverse will continue to trend prosocial, and will end this with a story from the great Dr. #RobertSapolsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q-bB-qywJ0
