I am considering replacing the tagline "Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community" with something closer to action/the reader.
"Follow your friends and publish updates"? Something like that. The other phrase has too much technical jargon (jean gargron).
@Gargron "broadcast messages" comes across a bit strong. "decentralised platform" will mean very little to many readers. What's important to the user experience?
