@Gargron Hi Eugen. Like hundreds of thousands people, I've discovered and joined the Fediverse via Mastodon in the past weeks.
I do love how you share openly and transparently re: the development of the software behind it.
And I'd love at some point to read you with same transparency and openness on the community concerns raised e.g. here: https://icosahedron.website/users/u2764/updates/36061
What are your plans, or current ideas and gut feelings at least, for scaling governance too?
@NFG Actually, I am not a member of the queer community, and just joined 2-3 weeks ago. The fact that those long-term community members (both developers and users communities) raise concerns now is important to me. I have a passion for community history, and their consequences on their present and future. Important questions for a newbie on Mastodon, pondering his long term involvement. Lost happiness by early adopters is important for future happiness of the new ones, in my opinion. #MastoGov
@shalf - given that every instance controls, to no small extent, it's own community standards and attitudes, why does it matter that 'mastodon' isn't as kink-oriented as it was when you joined? Is this not becoming a vast sea with like-minded users gathering on their own islands? I've half a mind to start my own because this is awesome.
I ask honestly, because I was not able to understand from your post, exactly what you've lost when mastodon is making so many new users happy.
