     @Tim Chambers It's sad that it's always Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon. The Fediverse is only represented by Mastodon, only Mastodon and nothing but Mastodon, as if there's nothing else. Always.
     
     The Fediverse's quality in microblogging is always measured in what vanilla Mastodon can and can't do. If Mastodon lacks something, the Fediverse lacks it.
     
     But the Fediverse is not only Mastodon. Not even in terms of microblogging.
     
     Pleroma is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Akkoma is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Misskey is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Firefish is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Iceshrimp is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Sharkey is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Catodon is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     Mitra is microblogging, part of the Fediverse and federated with Mastodon.
     And that's only a selection.
     
     None of them are related to Mastodon. None of them have even a grain of Mastodon in them. They're fully independent developments.
     
     Feature-wise, they all blow Bluesky and Threads and Mastodon out of the water. In fact, if you want "the Fediverse", read, Mastodon to have a certain feature, Misskey probably has it right now. If Misskey doesn't, Iceshrimp or Sharkey may have it. And that doesn't say anything about the more Facebook-like and even more powerful parts of the Fediverse yet.
     
     If Mastodon wants to evolve, it will first have to catch up to the rest of the Fediverse.

     @timbray @tchambers You can follow Threads users remotely. You can see replies and likes from the Fediverse. You can like the replies. You can see Fediverse replies to other people's posts. There are only a few things left to have full integration (following remote, replying to replies).

     @tchambers Do you think Threads will actually join the Fediverse? That story seems to have gone cold.

     @evan @tchambers And, most important, migrating between instances. Without that, nothing. With that, the beginning of everything.
