"I think the key is in its role as a #communityplatform. Every #Mastodonserver is its own #community, with its own norms, settings, standards, and ideals. We should stop calling them instances or servers, and treating them as homogenous nodes in a wider network.
#Mastodon should be the #WordPress of #decentralized #communities.
Each Mastodon-powered community should have its own look and feel—each with its own identity, design, tooling, and norms."
