well, only a handful of people make the effective decisions around how these networks are designed. if certain influential figures push something, it's likely to happen.

most of the Fediverse runs on Mastodon. what Eugen Rochko thinks matters a lot.

i don't know who's the most central figure in the design of Nostr, but i reckon if someone like Jack Dorsey says something, that'll make waves...

and i don't know what is the future of either network. if i'm connected to both and one fails, this means i have a backup.

non-centralised (decentralised, distributed) systems are all about redundancy and so if you use more of them, you have more redundancy on the human/user level.
