Shout-out to Green Party of BC leader, @emilylowan
for mentioning “Mastodon” on Rachel Gilmore’s Bubble Pop show.
The quick laugh after said the obvious: this place is still seen as niche.
Maybe it is, and maybe that’s also an opening.

How much have you already engaged with existing initiatives like FediForum and IFTAS?
@JMMaok Thanks for mentioning them. Rather than going solo, an objective of this thread is to find people who want to build something together. If folks in @fediforum or @iftas see overlap, I’m happy to connect. Meanwhile, I'm all ears and looking for allies. What’s been your involvement with those spaces, and where do you see the strongest connection to the kind of community-building above?
I attended a FediForum early on, but haven’t been much involved since. Just wanted to help you make the connection, as they were definitely discussing the same questions you raised, and have put some good work into things like onboarding. I appreciate seeing political, government, and civil society here on the Fediverse!
@JMMaok Thanks for that.One challenge I see for getting government here is that they’re not wrong when they say it’s too small. If “small and weird” is a goal, we’ve nailed it. But is that a goal Who decides what the goal is in a decentralized system? It makes me wonder: how small is too small for public institutions to find value here? And for those who want it to stay weird, what’s the line between keeping its character and just staying invisible? (okay... not exactly invisible. ICU)
