 @f1cf1cd7 Why does it have to be "Mastodon & Fediverse"? Why not just "[the] Fediverse"? Mastodon is apart of the Fediverse, and therein it's not exclusively different nor special (outside of being nerfed and feature-poor and stack bloated). Really don't mean to be the like "Uhm, excuse me, allow me to interject for a moment..." trope; But, really, I don't understand this pervasive need for Mastodon to habitually brand itself as something different, and Mastodon's chronic detestation towards assimilating into the wider community or network.
