Tim Bray looks at the current status of Mastodon and the fediverse, including where the tech stands on server migration (followers: yes; posts: no) and "the most important issue" of curation and moderation. "Mastodon's trust-and-safety story is imperfect, but it's not terrible. The fact that there are thousands of instances, each of them does their own moderation, and each spots problem people coming in from problem instances, is in aggregate very powerful. Also, Mastodon has a nuclear weapon: Defederation."
