The fediverse will be fine because it isn't beholden to a single entity, in more than one way.

You typically see this mentality with US folks who are blind to the fact that most people don't want another US corp to dictate their social interactions.
We're building a better alternative that will become the dominant player in the not to distant future.

@dansup One problem, software isn't actually interoperable on Fedi or Bluesky, like how Pixelfed drops posts without images for no reason, how Lemmy and PeerTube drop anything that isn't a Lemmy or PeerTube post, how PeerTube and WriteFreely don't let you subscribe to non-PeerTube/WriteFreely accounts, or how people have both Pixelfed and Mastodon accounts for some reason.

@marti @dansup This comes from a social networking perspective inherited from sites like Facebook where you must have an account on every site. E-mail, for instance, does not work this way. XMPP does not work this way. If your emails were dropped by your recipient's mailserver because they didn't have pictures you'd be furious.
The ideal would simply be the ability to see everything from every software, or at the very least the ability to see everything else from all the software that isn't "publish-first" (PeerTube, Micro.blog, WriteFreely, WordPress, Ghost).

@asterisk @marti @dansup this sounds like a deep misconception about the goals of these projects and a key pillar of fediverse resilience: separation of concerns and proliferation of services and instances of those services. The thing you think is a bug is actually an incredibly desirable feature. It keeps us safe from One Ring to Rule Them All.
