On the subject of the thread 
The has been lot of good feedback to the one man #PR company https://bluem.ventures/ who are making the website for spreadmastodon.org (This site is not affiliated with Mastodon gGMBH) they say they are going to update the site from the feedback and have not surprisingly fallen silent to do that.
Must stress, was a LOT of good feedback, I think the drama came from their initial interaction on mastodon, they talked about the #Fediverse and decentralized federation, but the draft site only talked about the brand and the only instance was the brand’s flagship instance.
It was this normal #mainstreaming mismatch that created the feedback, let’s see.
