@mike@sauropods.win I understand this, but I don't see why a) a lot of people wanting something actually makes it good for the greater whole and b) Mastodon needs to offer features from other platforms instead of itself as a one that does things differently.

@konkrit@mastodon.social OK, I understand your point of view. But I'm not sensing a lot of empathy from you regarding others' perspectives. Isn't it enough that it will make things better for a lot of people?

@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win The demographics of #Mastodon - and the #Fediverse - are not particularly diverse, and mostly reflect white Europeans and North Americans (with the main exception being Japanese #Misskey users). This is not good, and if we can change our underlying technology (*) to make Mastodon attractive to people outside of these groups, then in my opinion we should do so. The revolution will not be successful if it is not global. (*) Of course, we also need to implement _cultural_ changes to make the Fediverse more attractive to non-white demographics - there is only so much that technology on its own can do.
