@mellifluousbox Definitely more diversity, more so than simply more people on here.

@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 Groups

@mellifluousbox full `Article` support, so that I do not have to leave Mastodon to read a blog-post :)

#longformers

@mellifluousbox I want more people on Mastodon. More tech people specifically, like robotics people. I have been watching some micromouse maze solver things and there seem to be no people who do that on mastodon.

Also, there doesn't seem to be many gay men. More of that.

More science people also.

@mellifluousbox Better passkey support and the ability to move all of one’s own posts when migrating between instances.

@mellifluousbox @neil sudo apt upgrade mastodon

@mellifluousbox

It would be interesting to be able to mark an instance as a designated backup location, where you can continuously mirror your account. If the primary instance disappears, you can "promote" the backup instance to become your new primary, and a "move" will be broadcast to the network with a special key to verify it.

@mellifluousbox
Governments and public offices setting up their own servers and using Mastodon as they main micro blogging service.

@mellifluousbox I wish for Mastodon to become a super-simple-low-level-entry-platform for completely normal people like my mom to join the fediverse. (Aka: fix the onboarding process to be inclusive, non-judgemental, friendly, easy-to-use, well organised, transparent and understandable for non-techy people, so everyone finds their way to a server with people and accounts they might connect to)

@mellifluousbox Please no A.I. 😟

@mellifluousbox positioning as the way for EU leaders to communicate, instead of the American censored algorithmic place

@mellifluousbox Better tools for account migration. People lose their old posts when servers are frequently shut down, and it would be great to finally have a set of features for importing past (backdated) posts. It would also mean that Mastodon would be a lot more compliant with the EU data portability regulations, as the current situation is a bit off from what the laws say.

@mellifluousbox Que milhões de brasileiros invadam o fediverso...!

@mellifluousbox I wish institutions like universities and middle/high schools would pick it up for their internal communications and to link to each other.
