• Flancian asks a good question on the social.coop tech channel - why does social.coop not use Mastodon to coordinate governance?
  • In my opinion because Mastodon is not very good for governance. It only has polls and even that is fairly new.
  • In fact I don't find Mastodon very good for even just conversation.
  • That said, having two/more platforms to coordinate things is definitely a huge piece of friction to involving a community in governance.
  • h's mockups from way back when, are interesting: https://social.coop/@h/1868600 https://social.coop/@h/1870490
