@mellifluousbox @qbi become a safe space for jews, blacks and all other marginalized people
@mellifluousbox On the technical site, getting the ActivityPub client API would be nice.
Other than that, I would whish for the Mastodon app to display other servers than mastodon.social by default.
@mellifluousbox domain names as aliases to our instance accounts. Make portability easier. Post migrations would also help with this.
@mellifluousbox My wish is something I noticed recently. It's about posts for donations from the Mastodon Account. I noticed it being more than before if I'm right. And I can totally understand that. But I would find it a bit more enjoying to see it a bit less. Just my experience and opinion.
@mellifluousbox changing character limit through server admin! 6 years of discussion! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12265
@mellifluousbox Support events like Mobilizon, and reviews (books, music, movies, etc...).

Better moderation tools.
For example, if you block an instance's admin who's an arse, then do not show anything from them, no exceptions being made.
Or “your reports” screen, where you can show your past reports and retract them when you have e.g. made them in error.
@mellifluousbox More inroads in addressing the concerns of at-risk groups so that they can feel safer here than on the commercial platforms that are (pretending to be) more accommodating of them. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it does have to be directionally (and marketably) clear that this is a strong goal.
And maybe some tools for those with unmanageably huge followings (celebs, for example) to better enjoy the platform.
@mellifluousbox I hope the people who need to find their people will find Mastodon and find their people.
I hope everyone else leaves us alone (governments, nazis, etc.)
@mellifluousbox `text` _formating_
@mellifluousbox i would like Mastodon, which is the strongest "brand" and organisation in the fediverse, to facilitate moving "regular people" who intuitively know something is wrong with big tech off fb, insta etc. Not everyone will, but there are plenty non tech people who'd want to but don't have time/energy to nerd in on fediverse. To do that we need a replacement for FB groups and the ability to authenticate (Open ID sort of thing) across multiple services (PeerTube, FlohMarkt, Mobilizon).
@mellifluousbox custom visibility/addressing/circles for posts so that you can make a post that’s only visible to certain people. Support for collections, like collections of photos.
@mellifluousbox full `Article` support, so that I do not have to leave Mastodon to read a blog-post :)
