Yeah… I tend to keep my accounts here as a “Do I really need/want the UI, or can I just do it on my main account?” and judge from there. Like. It’s fair to me that Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, and the *keys share a protocol. They’re all doing the same fundamental thing in a slightly different way: Blogging/microblogging. What the fediverse was built on, largely.

It is weird to me that Lemmy, Bookwyrm, Funkwhale, and to a lesser extent PeerTube are all on that same network. A community-based content aggregator, book reviewer, music hoster, and video hoster on that same network feels weird, and as a result I do have a Lemmy, and a Friendica account. I don’t care to have a Mastodon/GTS/*key account on top of it because they function near identically, but these are all fundamentally different pieces of software. You subscribe to one Lemmy community, and that’s your entire feed now. Bookwyrm functionally can’t use Mastodon posts, and you’re not going to Mastodon for that flavor of book review, etc.
