Excited to see WordPress still using the @FediverseSymbol throughout the interface

Next up is @andypiper and @haubles talking about @Mastodon's vision

@andypiper: "mastodon is part of a movement" "it is part of the fediverse"

@haubles just dropped the massive news that Mastodon is going to be changing the default signup flow on mobile apps to choose an instance thats geographically close to you instead of choosing mastodon.social by default!
