This is why conflating #mastodon and the #fediverse is bad. People outside the fediverse just start thinking they're the same thing or that mastodon is social. I'm sure there mastodon team is fine with that, but it's not good for the fediverse. We've seen it more broadly on the web with IE, and more recently, Chrome. Open standards have to have a healthy ecosystem of implementations or they don't remain open.
