• There’s a lot of low-hanging fruit
• Safety is an especially good area to focus on

• What about funding?
• Make sure there are funded leadership and project roles for Black, Indigenous, Muslim, trans, queer, and disabled people as well as others who have been marginalized in Mastodon’s development history
• Let a thousand forks bloom!
• Clever conclusion! tbd
