All of you.

This message isn't just for "the people in charge".

For one thing, this is a *federated* system. This means the odds that you, personally, might be a "person in charge" in some sense go way, way up. And if not today, maybe tomorrow.

Furthermore, some instances are straight up democracies. Everybody on them is a person in charge.

But much more importantly, you have a voice. And if you're on Mastodon you probably use it.

I am hoping to convince you to use that voice not just to call for remedies you are certain will work to solve problems you haven't really specified. I'm inviting you to engage with curiosity questions like, "I wonder what the pros and cons of this are?" and "I wonder what it is that is giving me that impression, and how I might check out whether or not it is true?" and "I wonder if there are any other social media platforms that came up with a solution to this?"
