    Hope this was of help!

    Please stop trying to build "no fuck ups allowed" online spaces or pretend that that is something even remotely achievable.

    That doesn't mean you should stop moderating or having rules. But please recognise that we have flaws and exist within a system where we are often facing situations beyond our control.
    Humans have the capacity for growth and we aren't solely responsible for everything that we do.

    Sp3r4z's stats page also has some stats regarding centralisation:

    It lists the Gini index in regards to users on Mastodon instances. The Gini index is used in economics to measure income inequality, where a 0 would be perfect equality and 1 complete inequality (all income in the hands of one person).

    The Mastodon federation Gini index in regards to users per instance is 0.96.

    "The 3 biggest instances representing 52.26% of total users"

    Free Software is good but on its own isn't enough.
    When you look at the definition of Free Software you will notice how it is very programmer centric in its sense of freedom.

    Those who can't program and don't have the time to acquire the skill are directly excluded from most of the freedom we associate with Free Software.
    The only freedom they have is to run a free program and redistribute it without restriction.

    If your software could be useful to non-technical people, make sure they still have access to the participatory part of Software Freedom.

    Write accessible documentation.

    Provide ways for non-technical people to contribute to your project.

    And most importantly: Listen to the feedback of non-technical users equally, if not more than that of technical people.
