A further problem with focusing on Mastodon is that it creates development myopia -- and sometimes hostility too.
For example, npub1rky9qeplwklrsezde4nrzy4qqtr0fasvhhauqdjrd8ej44uxerfqjn0xq2 (npub1rky…0xq2) blocks other services from using the client -- even if those services are using Mastdon's API.
There's no reason for that other than Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink: (npub14eg…vtfz) simply having no regard for any part of the Fediverse that isn't Mastodon.
Is this the kind of future we want for the Fediverse?
