@rysiek well, look at that! That is a sign of maturity, and I'll guess that OStatus didn't have this when the mentioned fragmentation happened?

There are no guarantees ever that one instance/brand won't get big enough to break away from the ecosystem and manage on their own, to everyone's detriment probably.

Still, it's an interesting discussion. I don't really know enough about the alternatives to Mastodon-The-Software. Some questions popped up:

@rysiek I've migrated my account from one Mastodon instance to another. Could I also migrate to another type of instance if I wanted? For example, migrate my account from a Mastodon instance to another instance running GNU Social?

Could a site admin migrate their entire site, including users and content, to another software? Eg from Mastodon to Friendica or GNU Social?

Probably, depends on the other instance software.

That's almost certainly way trickier.
