p.s. For anyone wondering why this centralisation is a problem, here's an in-depth look at why mastodon.social's increasing percentage of the Fediverse is dangerous: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/

p.p.s. I'm not saying join any random server! I run a website at https://fedi.garden to recommend good alternative servers. My point was just that in terms of size, no other server is anywhere near as large as mastodon.social.

p.p.s. If anyone currently on mastodon.social wants help moving to a different server, there's an easy-to-understand step-by-step guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

Let me know if you have any difficulties with any particular step 🙂🙂

p.p.p.s. Looks like Mastodon gGmbH are now discussing this issue, really good to hear them being proactive! 👍👍

Let's give the new leadership a chance and see what they come up with 🙂🙂

@FediGarden@social.growyourown.services Hi there - I’ve just joined the Mastodon team full time, and part of my role is working on mastodon.social and mastodon.online. I’m just getting started and still in learning mode, but I want to say that I’m aware of this issue and the team is actively discussing how we can evolve in a way that both delivers on #Mastodon’s promise of decentralization, and provides a “safe landing place” for new users. I’m grateful for all the ideas and writing you’ve shared. I’m listening, and thank you.
