@mmasnick Already there is promising work being done to create unified experiences at the client level, such as Tapestry. All of this activity makes me hopeful that this current messy situation might actually have a good outcome.
I think this is positive for Mastodon and the fediverse in the long-term, as it will likely still be a viable option if (probably when) the other social media options like Bluesky eventually enshittify.
