      If the FSF is not now going very hard on promoting Mastadon,

    Why take such a negative approach? Why not, instead, propose a campaign
    to promote Mastodon? We are here to support the Free Software Movement
    - a movement that relies on contributions beyond code.

I agree here, Mastodon does need content, it has that to a point as I subscribe to feeds from Sciencedaily for example, but few people interact. As far as I am aware people not exactly have long conversations on twitter either.

There are several forums set up to facilitate discussions on how the fediverse can move forward, I am part of both.

https://fediverse.town/
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/

As a platform, or set of platforms they can't move forward unless people say what they want, and help promote.

we need to perhaps coordinate efforts so a post from the fsf is boosted by the community, for example. but not over a period of wees but days or hours in some cases.

I tend to avoid mastodon, as there are more people on there who seem to be anti vaccination, anti science and racist, so it doesn't help me,

Free software is just as much about the community of developers, users, creators etc as it is about the fsf, who,among other things are trying to also enforce our licenses when they are infringed, something individual users can't do easily.
