PREDICTION - Mastodon will be replaced / much less used in 2 years IF something else does these things below, because currently...

█ we can't move our post backups/exports to another instance
(we can backup to JSON only - NOBODY HAS CONVERTED JSON TO SOMETHING BETTER and WITH THE PICTURES output together, not separate)

█ developers don't educate users to avoid using google youtube links and use various Invidious filters or better links (we are haemorrhage a ton of data from our instances / give ads etc) all because we don't mind leaking links or fail to educate the basics

█ we don't have options inside Mastodon or other software for using alternative google youtube links
(WE NEED TO LINK-UP WITH LIKE-MINDED people like @invidious software to simply add option / have it inbuilt even if it break - save all the adverts people currently provide GOOGLE YOUTUBE.COM $$$$)

█ No other way to contact and participate with Mastodon development... only a 3rd party website and no option using Mastodon itself? 🤨

█ ... and more things that will kill Mastodon or have it replaced with anyone that can do above 'FEATURES'
