People often say, “The #Fediverse is bigger than just #Mastodon!”
But that’s not quite true; Mastodon is actually four times bigger than the rest of the Fediverse COMBINED. And its size matters:
If Mastodon is four times bigger than the rest of the Fediverse
combined, then that means to focus solely on Mastodon is to miss that other 20% of the universe.
So yep, it just goes to show that The #Fediverse is bigger than just #Mastodon!"
@volkris This may be a classic “both-and” situation! We should (1) encourage a flourishing, diverse Fediverse ecosystem, while also (2) ensuring that its most prominent platform makes the right moves.
That's true, although we have to be careful about what the right moves are because certain improvements to Mastodon, making the right moves for Mastodon, amount to introducing proprietary elements that reflect the centralized platforms we're trying to get away from.
So we have to be a bit careful about what the right moves are.
@volkris @matt That's... That's exactly his point in the video.
