Yea, it's a nice idea, except #gargron has little influence over other generic instances.
My general read on #mastodon's movements lately is that it's taking it's brand and product a tad more seriously now, which involves stretching out and flexing it's muscles a bit more. It's so big though that a little push from mastodon is huge for the fediverse.
mastodon's reality: App + mastodon.social + software stack = a brand, full product & UX.
