It’s a weird own goal for various Mastodon admins who are running a decentralized social network based on interoperable protocols to pledge that they won’t interoperate with services from existing social networks if built on the same open protocols.

It’s not even the hypocrisy, it’s just dumb and undermines the entire point of interoperable protocols.

@carnage4life @gruber real conversation that happened:

A: “remember when we asked them to group threads?”
B: “yes …ugh”
A: “they just drew a line between circles, lol”

I guess Facebook copied that part, but at least they saw the hazard in putting numbers next to the little icons.
