Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.

this is surprising, although I can imagine selling sequencer integrated with computer (P2i) is way more profitable (and you get to charge for support on annual basis), so probably P2S reduces their profit from larger seque…

This is a great milestone to see for Mastodon, in evolving towards its new community-focused governance structure. I’m optimistic about what this portends for the platform and how its features & future evolve. (And it’s fun that I was there for the photo being taken!) https://

If, due to intense pressure, the #NobelPeacePrize is perversely awarded to Darth #Trump, then I expect all living Nobel Peace Prize winners to return their prizes and no reasonable, decent person to accept the tarnished and devalued Nobel Prize in the future—until the prize is revoked from Trump.
