Okay here's a real toot that you can actually boost without people looking at you like you're crazy.

The past few weeks (okay, ever since the schism) I've felt kind of disenchanted by Mastodon and especially its development environment, and I wrote an essay about why that is. It's long, but if you're interested in Mastodon's history or politics you should give it a read.
@u2764 Thank you for your article.
I'm curious, are you planning on writing a follow-up on what exactly you think needs to change within the development effort and what you could see as possible remedies?
Because I would be interested in hearing your side as to what is "going wrong" (priorities, code quality, participation level etc) right now and what a different model/structure might look like
@moritzheiber I might write a follow-up; I haven't really decided and it depends how things go I guess. I definitely have opinions but I'm not sure that they're clear enough yet to explain to other people lol.
@u2764 Of course, absolutely understandable. I'd be curious and interested to learn about them once you think feel comfortable enough to share.
Part of my job is helping organizations transition and transform in the same way I think Mastodon will have to at some point in time. And I would love for this transition to have everyone on board, not just whoever held out the longest and has had the loudest voice.
@u2764 btw, if you think you could use a second pair of eyes/ears to bounce ideas and thoughts of .. I'd be happy to be of assistance 😊
