@Gargron we launched our public beta on March 21st, 30 weeks ago -- not over a year :)
Since then we have:
- expanded to 100+ countries
- gone from outbound publishing + likes to having fediverse replies, media ingestion, integrity screening, profile display
- implemented transparent blocklists with appeal forms
And most important of all... haven't ruined the fediverse! Before we launched that was everyone's top worry, and I'd rather be slow and cautious (with our size) vs brazen and careless
