We're so happy to be back on the Fediverse (from a different instance)! ActivityPub and Mastodon provide a vital space and open standard for social media.
We decided to use @support to provide us with our own instance so we can use our own domain (and be in control of our data). It's so great to see that so many people on their own or shared instances. One of the great things about free software is the ability to host it yourself or have someone you trust do it for you.
We're curious, if you moved over from Twitter recently, if there was anything precipitating the migration away that could've prompted you to move before now?

In our ongoing mission to grow and represent both our community of software freedom activists, as well as the wider community of all technology users, we want to know how we improve.
Classically people have recommended the only way to truly trust your data sovereignty was to run the hardware, software and maintenance all by yourself. But this needlessly excludes people without the technical knowhow to do so.
What are ways we can make decentralized, privacy and rights focused software easier to use?

We also need to learn from this new influx of users about what they expect from their software.
How can we use this momentum to make other changes to peoples lives with the introduction of software freedom principles?
And how can we use this learning moment to build resilience for the next proprietary software crisis?

This is a very interesting idea! Something like identifying historical bubbles of failure so we could learn from them.
And agreed, migration with Mastodon has been a much easier process that if we designed system to have, could alleviate a lot of the stress and work of these consolidated options.
