Perhaps that is tge future. Separation into two sub-networks: a viral Mastodon copying twitter features, and a proper Mastodon maintaining all those elements that support considered dialogue rather than broadcasting.

I've been pondering this re the black Mastodon concerns, which are certainly valid. My thinking was drawing me in the direction of a split because, ultimately, Mastodon has been designed to protect minorities. Whilst not mutually exclusive I think the compromises will lead to a much less recognisable and much more messy, centralised, environment.

Maybe there is too much focus on Mastodon rather than many of the other systems out there that may already do things better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@the_roamer @whatzaname @solarbear @Mastodon the fediverse already has "neighborhoods" segregated on many lines (the biggest being use of mutually-intelligible character sets).

it's likely these neighborhoods will continue to expand and diversify, especially as Mastodon continues on its techbro trajectory.
