If you were going to start posting about cool servers that aren't run by Mastodon GmbH on the @Mastodon account, which hashtag would you use?

I prefer something like „@„adress spotlight. Mastodon adress spotlight. Mastodon flavor spotlight. Mastodon peer group spotlight.

Underline that it‘s not a technical decision. More about your neighbourhood.

I really like this direction!

"Server" feels a bit cold and impersonal, maybe a bit too techy.

I'd like to see the fediverse lean more into terminology around communities and being grassroots, as opposed to say, Big Tech and crypto-financed tech startups.
