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 I think of it like spammers. They follow RFC822 and SMTP to the letter. We still block them.
@suldrew @carnage4life it's more like blocking entire Gmail out of fear of spammers, while your own service is known of sending out racist emails.
