What kind of mentality is this? Don't we all want the Fediverse to grow and succeed? Don't you want more apps for the Fediverse to spur adoption? And what is so wrong with it being exclusive to iOS? What do you say about Android exclusive apps then? Fuck them too? Aight listen, I'm a GrapheneOS user. I have been on Android exclusively for the last decades and I'm so sick of this attitude. You Android elitists are so utterly anhedonic. You tire me out. Grow the f up up and let people enjoy what they want geez.

The other great thing about the Fediverse is that people have options, and they can explore those options without affecting you

If someone wants to use Mastodon on an Apple device, then great. If someone wants an algorithm when viewing content, then great.

We aren't locked into one thing anymore

Social media is like capitalism. If your way is the infinite grow, you end with entshitification for both. You need to have a limit where you balance quality and quantity.

It's why the steep learning curve isn't as bad as people like to say. It's the limit to keep the quality high enough. If you have a lot of new player making it easy to join, you change the equilibrium and entshitification begins.

But, fediverse is in some case protected. If the new player has its how instance, the others can defederate. It's what is already happening.

I'm part of a minority and I use Mastodon on a dedicated instance. We defederate of some very specific instances to keep our safe space and keep entshitification away.
