It's the future of social networking if the only thing you want to talk about is Bitcoin or Nostr. The technology isn't the problem: it's the lack of any discussion here about anything other than these two topics. This needs fixing before anything else.

Mastodon is not single-app, nor is it a vertical silo. The interop with Pixelfed is excellent - it's the same underlying protocol - and there are hundreds of apps out there for it and thousands of servers running ActivityPub. What's the deal with pretending otherwise?
