#Indieweb tech and #mastodon get a shout out 28 minutes in talking about breaking down the social media silos: https://youtu.be/MPfyZZrQPA8
The more I think about #mastodon features that would be strategic, the more I think folks should build in features and tools for hyper-local communities to use. Lean in on "instances" intended specifically for networks of a dozen (or at least under 100) friends and family. In essence a replacement for "FB groups."
The #Fediverse certainly do more, but that seems like a strategic opportunity. In essence what Darius Kazemi has been thinking about for a while.
This would be a good feature to add to #Mastodon:
"Now you can decide who can respond to your posts. Your choices of who can reply:
Anyone.
Only people you follow.#
Only people you mention in the tweet.
And since you can mention no one, you can make it so that no one can respond to a post.
#Mastodon has already built so many of these ideas in. Which ones do you think are good ideas and still lacking inside Mastodon or the #Fediverse?

Wonder if #mastodon could securely implement GIF reactions like GIPHY into it in a fashion akin to how Signal did...while still supporting privacy....
Interesting to see the #Mastodon users accounts getting pretty close to passing 4 million users.
An idea: @Gargron and other #mastoadmins Wouldn't this be served by a stand alone #Mastodon instance just for doctors allowing publicy anonymous posting? Would need some for of verifying doctors into it but could be anonymous to the outside world
Someone really needs to build a web based wizard-like tool helping those who want to #deleteFacebook and Instagram migrate as much as can be salvaged from their social friends and content over to #mastodon and #pixifed. #fediverse
Question #Mastodev folks: is there anything in the works to make remote follow, remote boost, remote likes a far more seamless experience?
Both from a UI experience, but also from a "reduce requirements to credential yourself as often, if at all?
Think that is one of the more confusing part of #Mastodon to users more familiar with centralized social nets.
So In essence it would be a for pay service helping groups of friends #DeleteFacebook or #DeleteTwitter and move somewhere new, distributed and better together. With guaranteed commercial support and all the benefits of #Mastodon - no tracking, local admins, less abuse and better #nazi moderation.
Good article from @peter from late 2018 on #Mastodon defying silicon valley expectations and framing. Still very true.
"Why Mastodon is defying the 'critical mass'...It’s a mistake to judge the fediverse as though it’s a Valley startup."
