I don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.

@Gargron I’m not sure whether the state it’s in today shows that, or the exact opposite. Mastodon isn’t even functional at the moment, much less an example of how to do things differently, and the UX is proving to be confusing and unwelcoming. Maybe notifications for when your feed can load or search is working would help?

@Gargron I would suggest a slight visual enhancement/clarificaton to the toot-box:

- only Language-referation shown textually
- ContentWarning shown as shield symbol
- Informal headline for setting a poll

@Gargron Can we please have IPv6 support for mastodon.social? I understand you use Hetzner servers so it should be pretty easy. I‘d love to help you with that if you want.

Hey all I just started a petition at change.org to investigate corporations for causing inflation and capitalizing on record profits at the detriment of everyone else. Please please share and sign! Thank you! chng.it/xtCGQ8kV

@Gargron I became aware of the Fediverse first when Google+ shut down and there was a big move to Diaspora*. I am curious to see how this all turns out.

We need a lot more features. It would be interesting if you announce that you are working on updates.

@Gargron I seem to have forgotten my password, but the system won’t send me a password reset, so I’m stuck with this single log-in via the Mastodon app, and I’d like to try out the web interface and other apps. Is this likely to be resolved any time soon?

@Gargron There is still a lot to find out. Painfully exposing how much of an "end user" in critical communication infra we have become. #twitter #mastodon

@Gargron I'm looking forward to it. Waiting to get on to mastodon.social. I'm not sure what exactly I'm on right now, but I'm here responding to you. I heard other people are having trouble figuring it out too. Take care.

@Gargron I am rapidly becoming enamored with Mastodon, after figuring out the concept and how to join up. Thank you for rethinking the social spaces we spend our daily lives in and around!

@Gargron what's the easiest way for us to make a donation to Mastodon, to allow your non-profit to increase capacity?

@Gargron Hi Eugen. You and many other developers, moderators and instance admins do a great job, thank you! 🙏 I only started embracing the benefits and advantages the #fediverse delivers since I joined earlier this week. What is your position about actively encouraging people to join #mastodon? I mean are there initiatives to make it easier to migrate to the #fediverse? Do you plan to use the actual hype to promote the switch to this community? I would like to volunteer for that, if I can help.

@Gargron I feel like I drove 1500 km in a raw and realize someone had put some beers into the fridge for us all. Thank you so much !
