It's also not fully federated (not only now, but also publicly stated as a long-term policy), which is clearly stated at https://joinmastodon.org/covenant as a Covenant-incompatible policy.
Hey @mike, in your Medium® post, you stated that both your @Flipboard #Mastodon server and your proprietary webapp have "signed on to the Mastodon server covenant".

Was this an oversight in the planning process?

Just to clarify, I am not suggesting signing up on a random server with no track record.
The links in the above posts are to lists of servers that have very specific requirements to be listed (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant and https://fedi.garden/about-this-site/).
Also, many of these servers have been going for years without problems. You can browse the servers on fedi.garden listed by year of foundation:
Also climatejustice.social is popular with environmental accounts and complies with the Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant).
