  • Mastodon is the “corporate-oriented” Fediverse implementation. It is unfortunate, but Gargron has done a great job in marketing his own project to all sorts of commercial organizations. Other Fediverse software implementations are mostly targeted towards hobbyist (and non-“mainstream”) communities and personal uses, which makes them less “appealing” to corporations (Mozilla is one of them, however they would like to claim otherwise).

    Just look at the recent Mastodon updates, especially 4.0 and the ones leading up to 4.0. All of them are trying to make Mastodon more Twitter like and more uniform (so that instances are less distinguishable from each other). That is Gargron’s way of marketing, and he has succeeded in doing so. I as a long-time Fediverse user absolutely hate all of this development, but that is the unfortunate side effect of wanting to go mainstream.
