Nice demonstration of why mastodon’s dominance is problematic

See the conversions here:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4628
and
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federating-the-content-of-posts-note-articles-and-character-limits/4087

AFAICT, mastodon’s decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon’s quirks in different ways.

It seems like masto is ruining “the standard” with its gravity.

    Oh so it’s a compatibility triangle of C being compatible with A makes it incompatible with B? Sounds like a mess for sure
