My personal heroes and projects I admire are @signalapp@mastodon.world @Mer__edith@mastodon.world @torproject@mastodon.social @gnome@floss.social @thunderbird@mastodon.online @ryanleesipes@mastodon.social . I’d much rather have Mastodon be inspired by the contributions of these people and projects to the FOSS and non-profit technology world than trying to rebuild early Twitter. (5/13)

I have huge respect for everyone contributing to the Fediverse: the larger-than-life architects like @cwebber@social.coop @evan@cosocial.ca (without whom we would literally all not be here), implementers like @dansup@mastodon.social bringing photo & video to it, new projects like @newsmast@backend.newsmast.org @michael@backend.newsmast.org @FreddieJ@backend.newsmast.org @saskia@backend.newsmast.org @bonfire@indieweb.social @ivan @mayel orgs like @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mike@flipboard.com @john @ghost @activitypub.blog @pfefferle@mastodon.social bringing the media over to the Fediverse, and @rileytestut@mastodon.social @altstore@fosstodon.org for trying out completely new things.
