Very good article here. I personally like mastodon alot, but lots of good ponts in the article and suggests some solutions "Finally, Mastodon is currently by far (measured by active users, and by number of instances) the most popular implementation of the ActivityPub protocol. Every implementation has its quirks. With time, and with new features being implemented, Mastodon’s implementation might have to drift further away from the strict spec. It’s tempting, after all: why go through an arduous process of standardizing any protocol extensions if you’re the biggest kid on the block anyway?" Proposed solution involves moving user accounts, but it doesnt take into account that I link to mastodon.social from other places than the fediverse, from solid, from nostr, from my home page, and so on. IMHO, a migration strategy (and we need this for solid too) would need to consider the web as a whole, rather than single software instance. https://rys.io/en/168.html
