I see the fediverse as a big crowd of villages, communities, mobile settlements, cities and mega cities. And all have their own charm. Some use Mastodon, some Friendica, some Firefish, some Peertube, some Pixelfeed to do their managing. Those using Mastodon are the biggest crrowd, they got the most villagers & villages. But even those village govs have their own way to do things. Usually the founder of the village also states the rules. 1/2

But what almost all have in common is the goal: "be excellent to each other". At least we strive to do so. Good example: access for all people. When you post pictures, a caption to the pic is a fine thing for blind people, or it tells you who is in the photo to know the ppl.
Or if you post podcasts it is wonderful, when there is at least a short text version for it, so deaf people can get the content, too. That's beautiful IMHO. 2/2

@energisch_ @ParadeGrotesque @lauren @FediTips I completely agree. My problem is that one of those villages has grown into a small state, Mastodonia, and the founder created a non-profit to run the state, including the capital city, also called Mastodonia. While other cities in the state are working together to create support networks to welcome in new immigrants and help them understand their new home, most immigrants arrive through the capital city, which is using information for new arrivals that seems to assume immigrants are all part of the construction crew that built Mastodonia when it was new.

If someone could hard fork Mastodon, that would allow current Mastodon servers to easily switch to non-Mastodon software.

A hard fork, if there were people available to maintain it, would be the easiest way to make software more diverse on the Fediverse.
