the fact that the majority of the servers in the fediverse are powered by a single software project is something that i consider to be a weak point in the system
is a decentralized system dominated by a single platform truly decentralized?
@scarly I guess it's still stronger than a commercial walled garden: if the Mastodon devs become truly unpopular it's not impossible to fork it and continue without them.
More variety in software right now would expedite this process: no need to fork if there's already an alternative.
