What #mastodon is doing now is going to lead to a lot of mess, duo to people squabbling. This might or might not be a level of mess that negates the vertical move to “simplicity” of a single codebase and a single instance. That would be a waste.
Good not to get confused about this part, it is the king and his https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favourite that are pushing this mess,
This is actually the same as the #NGO mess we see in #XR at the same time
As the righwing is failing, the mess is growing in the left… who would have thought… well actually we should all think about this as the is a long history of the same thing happening over the years.
