    I guarantee you the Pope will never be on Mastodon

    Doubt that. Vatican uses Linux, if it gets popular enough they’re for sure going to have their own Mastodon instance. When you’re a big org like them, control matters more than dollar amounts. A recruiting and comms tool that they own end-to-end, except for the protocol (that they can block or mod anytime)? They’d love it. Having a Vatican.va Mastodon handle if you work for them would probably carry cachet with Catholics.

      You’re insane if you actually believe that this will happen, but also I hope it does. I reckon they’re more likely to change their position on homosexuality.

        It’s not anywhere as crazy as it seems. The Vatican already airs mass in Esperanto, for example, and has done so for quite a long time. Just installing a docker image with Masto in one of their VPSes and setting up and auth connected to some other central services they also already have is perfectly within the reaches of such a small indie dev.
