Will Mastodon Evolve?
I've been enjoying Mastodon so far, but I agree with this article's warnings:

I think the solution needs to be some sort of mixed mode, subscription-based, not-for-profit semi-centralization.
Yes - that's a mouthful, but imagine wiki-pedia-like foundation with centralized servers that offers some form of feature enhancements for subscribed users that would get enough of them to pay in order to pay the bills.
An approach like this could solve many of the issues from the article, but the leaders at Mastadon seem reluctant to do it.
I'd like to think BlueSky would head down this path... but it's tough to trust the founder/source of BlueSky to do anything beyond a profit motive.

A problem I have when I dig into a straightforward task for my company is that I always see related items and say, "Well.. I'll just update that too," and it becomes a rabbit hole of improvements unrelated to what I really wanted to accomplish.

Just soft-launched the contentspark.ai MVP beta. Anyone can sign up for a 7-day (no CC) trial now. Just prepare yourself.. if you do then I'm going to be emailing you to see how it's going.
I have a love / hate relationship with the advice “just make your business 1% better every day. “
Per math… moving that 1% gets harder each day.
But daily improvements… sure. I buy that.
