"Mastodon is decentralized: instead of a single website, it’s a network of thousands of independently run servers – each with their own moderators and users – who can interact with each other’s posts, called 'toots'..."

John the Mastadon changed "toot" to "post" in his apps months ago. We're never going to live that down...

OTOH...

... the author did notice that...

"Other social media services can connect to ActivityPub as well, so no one app can monopolize the broader network that Mastodon is part of, called the 'fediverse'."

Keep in mind that strength vs weakness is dependent on the preferences of the individual user.

For you the advantages of federation outweigh the disadvantages, but for this guy, based on his personal preferences, the disadvantages outweighed.

It's all about personal tastes.
