Fork it! It's time for a Mastodon hard fork
https://privacy.thenexus.today/mastodon-hard-fork-2
A Mastodon hard fork that focuses on safety, community, accessibility, and working well with others has a great opportunity to improve safety in the fediverse, the dynamics of the Mastodon ecosystem, and fediverse software development in general. #ForkIt!
Potentially interested in getting involved? See the polls in the replies!

Part 2
- Safety is an especially good area to focus on* There are also a lot of other areas for improvement
Part 3
- It's not as easy as it sounds ...* But it's not like it defies the laws of physics!* What about funding?* Make sure most of the funding goes to Black, Indigenous, Muslim, trans, queer, and disabled people
Part 4
- It's not an either-or situation* A lot of open questions - and a lot of potential upside* Stay tuned!
