It is both long and a long time in the making as it reflects some of our internal discussions that started in November 2022, when Elon Musk completed his purchase of Twitter, and suddenly many people found their way to the Fediverse. This moment changed things for the Fediverse and also changed things for LURK. In the interest of accountability and transparency, we want to share our reflections on the matter with you all.
