Obvious doesn't mean bad, but "posts" is too vague, every app has posts. "Share your thoughts", but is it a note taking app? "Share your thoughts with the world", closer to reality as a publishing platform.

I realized that
the slogan for GitHub is
"Where the world builds software"
the slogan for GitLab is
"Iterate faster, innovate together"
The slogan for Notion.so is
"The all-in-one workspace for you and your team.
Join the decentralized fediverse or something like that. I can't help compare it to twitter and theirs is "Share and discover everything that's happening right now" but I think mastodon should lean into the fact that it's still quite niche, but decentralized.
69.9K Posts, 460 Following, 468K Followers · Developer of Mastodon and administrator of mastodon.social. I post service announcements, development updates, and personal stuff.
Talk with your friends, without corporations trying to turn you into a revenue stream.
Own your own social space. Own your own conversations.
(I may be influenced by discovering that Twitter is currently tending to hide any links to Patreon, which is kind of terrible for someone whose main gig is 'drawing whatever the Muses ask her to, with the generous support of her patrons'.)
"Feel the pulse of the fediverse."? Contrary to the closed silos you always get so much more with mastodon - whether you want it or not, and whether you know it or not.
something to the tune of “actually built to be good at social.” if you were able to stand any of the editorializing in my guide, “Social networking, back in your hands” became VERY meaningful for me.
if anything, I would remove “back.” mastodon is the future, not just a nostalgic plaything.
toss your bottled message into your backyard stream; watch it flow to the internet ocean; gasp delightedly at the weird responses returned upstream by carrier pigeon, homemade drone, and one particularly grumpy bike courier who doesn't speak any language you know
Of course it depends what you want to highlight... The key features of Mastodon is that it is decentralized and anyone can start their own Mastodon instance. It is private. No ads. No trackers. No business model. Federated.
Anyways, I'll throw my fast 2c:
Share your thoughts, not your data. Send your thoughts, not your data. You talk, we don't listen. Only your friends do. We give you a voice, you choose your platform.

Sounds a bit cheesy, but all I can really think of that sticks to the elephant theme. Trumpets, like the sounds of an elephant's trunk.

I am sure there is a better term than kleptocracy, but there is the gist.
