@GossiTheDog Not everybody *wants* a social network which changes all the time. Mastodon is part of an ecosystem, composed of many instances, each independent, and some Fediverse instances, like this one, run other software, in this case Pleroma. I would like it to be easier to set up smaller, more focussed instances in non technical areas. Too much of the Fediverse discusses the Fediverse (and cat pictures!).

@GossiTheDog Non technical people will not want to set up and manage such instances if the administrative burden of maintaining and upgrading an instance is too great. Threads (I assume - have not tried it, but I do have a Facebook account which I try not to use, but do sometimes as it does keep in touch with people) takes away the technical administration of setting up a community, at the cost of advertising and loss of privacy.
