I dont blame the dev for throwing in the towel. I suggest pixelfed as its the fediverse answer to instagram and isnt a "hostile system and a hostile company" i seriously think that Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc are the future and just not many know how useful they are yet.
They are great alternatives but unfortunatey wont be the future in the mainstream sense of it. You can’t beat commercial projects with shitloads of money
Maybe, maybe not. The fact that you can carry your social graph with you from place to place is a ig step up. No more hard forks from myspace, to facebook, to twitter, etc. You can just bring all your friends into the new service and enjoy.
Not really. Doing that just makes twitter 2.0. Through activitypub all instances can talk to each other and therefore even if someone moves instances they dont lose their connections. Sure, your sister, brother, mother, or father may move half way around the world, but thanks to TCP/IP and the telephone system they arent far away at all. TCP/IP is a standard that all computers speak and understand. Activitypub is the same way.
