I don't really understand the attacks on the mastodon app. There are many apps out there. Nobody is forcing you to use their app or to use mastodon.social. The fediverse is bigger than any one instance or app. Let's build a bigger fediverse and not fall into the trap of infighting, OK? #UnpopularOpinion

@jwildeboer that's not what I want to make of it and I am not as passionate about this as it might seem, but I think making the choices obvious to people instead of hiding them, would be good for the feediverse in the long run

@mxk I specifically left Twitter behind in the hope that the fediverse wasn't this clickbait drama hype pool of doomsday scenarios and "if you are nit with us you are against us".

@jwildeboer if we want to be serious about this federation thing, having those dominating defaults is automatically bad for the balance of the ecosystem

@jwildeboer the issue is, it's not 2010 anymore, people aren't used to have this level of alternative clients for a service and at least the playstore is very strongly promoting "the one" app over alternative clients.
So you end up with an obvious choice with non obvious alternatives, combined with the fact, that, at least on Android the official app obviously isn't the best app out there.
