Hard agree.
My plan so far has been to bring the Mastodon people along in one big tent but so often when I mention public social media infrastructure people shake their head sadly and say "Oh, yeah, Mastodon… That's never going to work."
We need to somehow unpoison the well.
@aendra.comI'm pretty adamantly against what I refer to as "protocol development as blood sport" but Bluesky/ATProto really needs to be more vocal about how we're *not* like Mastodon/Fediverse because nobody so far has mentioned the latter as a serious contender when the former actually is? #igf2025
