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 asks all those "why" questions and makes no attempt to answer them, despite there being lots of discussion going on (some of which he actually links to but doesn't acknowledge). Instead he essentially blames it on people relishing keeping Mastodon small. Not a serious commentary.
