Mastodon is the anti-influence platform

On the social web we are
- free from the influence of megalomaniacs or any one person
- free from the influence of VCs and profit motivations
- free from the influence of algorithmic manipulation

Plus as a bonus, you can follow a friend's "Instagram" from your "Twitter" account

Hi - I’m Hannah, I’m Mastodon’s new Community Director, I joined at the end of September.

First, thank you for your work to bring Indigenous/ BIPOC communities to #Mastodon and the #SocialWeb. I want to do everything I can to support you. I promise you that we will add this listing to join mastodon as soon as possible.

We have a significant backlog on the Server Directory, but we have a plan to fix it. Over the weekend we announced a first experiment in evolving onboarding (but it will not be the only one). Simultaneously we are starting to look at how to evolve the Server Directory too, including adding more kinds of server classifications or categories which can be used for other kinds of discovery methods. We also want to move the Server Directory to a PR-based backend so it’s more manageable to keep updated, and so the community can help us do it.

I am sorry we haven’t done this yet. We are working on it, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me to check in on progress. You can email me too: hannah[@]joinmastodon.org.

If you want to hear more, here is the talk where we announced the first experiment and shared more info about Server Directory (we will publish a blog post soon too). The relevant sections start at around 10:50.
