Just got a comment from a fellow chastising me for talking about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon.
He thinks we’re dropping the ball on Twitter migration by not focusing 100% on Mastodon.
However, 30% of the Fediverse doesn’t run on Mastodon.
Some server software, like Friendica, was on the Fediverse 6 years before Mastodon was created.
Sorry we’re not shutting things down just because Twitter migrants recently showed up.
But seriously, focusing 100% on Mastodon is an intrinsically bad idea.
For one thing, if everyone depends on one thing, we become a monoculture—which becomes a vector for re-centralization.
You need diverse server software, front-ends, and clients to develop a healthy Fediverse ecosystem.
Diversity is good!
