@Gargron @mellifluousbox @alice

[katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchange]

@taylorlorenz
First thoughts are of course @mastodonmigration, @stux, and @jerry.

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@Szescstopni Ah, thank you for tagging me!

@taylorlorenz Happy to answer any questions you might have!

I know I'm going to forget a ton of people, but you will definitely want to hear from:

@_elena
@dansup
@evan
@julian@community.nodebb.org
@julian@fietkau.social
@stefan@gardenstate.social
@tchambers
@thisismissem

[szescstopni@circumstances.run]

@stefan @taylorlorenz This list of people is what I expected you'd answer with

[stefan@gardenstate.social]

@taylorlorenz got to talk to @cwebber who is a real luminary on this technology but also future ideas for new ways to build social apps!

[theorangetheme@en.osm.town]

@taylorlorenz Definitely @alice!

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@Szescstopni Yeah, this is why I hardly do Follow Fridays. There are just so many cool people doing cool things!

But I think this is a good start, and I already see others adding good suggestions.

@taylorlorenz

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@stux @thekerker @taylorlorenz likewise

@Gargron @mellifluousbox

[woltiv@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz I think it would be interesting to hear about the benefits, *and* the pitfalls, of the fediverse in general and Mastodon in particular.

[taylorlorenz@mastodon.social]

@stefan thank you!! Stefan going to send you a DM but would love to chat for a few if you have time!

[mikey@friendsofdesoto.social]

@taylorlorenz I'd say it's worth talking to @jerry from a technical and from a social standpoint.

[uselaine@mastodon.online]

@taylorlorenz
@_elena has been been doing tremendous work in this area.

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@taylorlorenz Sure thing, looking forward to it!

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@taylorlorenz

Those mentioned above are great. Offhand would add...

Social:
@_elena

Technical:
@ricci

Moderation, Privacy etc.
@lrhodes

Of course:
@cwebber

[maj@cosocial.ca]

@taylorlorenz @evan !

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@taylorlorenz me.

@taylorlorenz
1. No algorithm. You see the posts you choose to see, not those chosen for you.
2. Most posts are by grownups for grownups.
3. Moderation is sensible & not oppressive.
4. Creativity (art/photography, writing, music) is respected and posts rewarded with boosts for wider dispersal.
5. Content is normally respectful, even in spirited debates. Blocking/muting users is easy & anonymous.
6. Care is taken to use & encourage accessibility aids for users with disabilities.
7. Humor abounds & user games are original and fun.
8. Politics does dominate general posts, but a) most views are respectfully presented; b) it’s possible to block content without blocking users; c) the users I see share my own bias (I see no MAGA posts).
9. Fedi is international — a giant plus for me personally.
10. I’ve been online with (all) social media platforms since the late 90’s, and the Fedi is by far my favorite. I migrated here from twitter in 2022, after Musk bought it.
