Nice demonstration of why mastodon’s dominance is problematic
See the conversions here:

AFAICT, mastodon’s decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon’s quirks in different ways.
It seems like masto is ruining “the standard” with its gravity.
That’s not what I meant. I read at some point that there’s a group of people trying to build a wiki or something, so others, who want to make fediverse software, can look up best-practices and the like. They also wanted to make demo software to test the federation against, so Mastodon doesn’t have to be used for that.
