This explainer is just so well written

To those wondering if this is actually me, here you go.

There are no ads here. No sponsored posts. No embedded content.

There is no subscription fee or in-app purchase.

That's because there is no "Mastodon" company at all. This whole thing is a volunteer project!

So, when you think about what #Mastodon "should be," or complain that it is "slow," that could be a sign that you need to get involved in the project in some way.

Sending a server mod some Patreon or pitching into to be a moderator are great places to start.

Expect some of the following to happen in the coming weeks:

- celebrities with huge follower counts pushing tiny community-run servers to their knees

- instance admin burnout; shutting down of servers

- big new servers that don't "vibe" with common rules or culture being widely defederated

- some notable account violating an instance code of conduct and throwing a fit

- lots of people ragequitting Mastodon for one reason or another

- etc.

It'll be a rough ride. Patience and strength, all.
