A lot of people have talked about the possibility of forking Mastodon to get the many improvements their communities need. Making such an effort successful is another discussion entirely.

@deadsuperhero There are several forks of Mastodon that have been around for years and work well (not only #Hometown) like #Ecko, #Glitchsoc, etc. for years.

They have many more functions such as editable character limit,
editable poll options, local posts, changeable favicon, markdown formatting - and if that’s not enough, there is plenty of other software in the Fediverse for micro- and macroblogging
Those aren’t the kind of forks that this article is addressing
