Not sure if it's from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that's like "Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter."

Wait, Pleroma is also FOSS like Mastodon. Not from small startups.
At least hopefully in that future they're all interoperable so choosing one over another wouldn't really be that big an issue
Except for Twitter, which burns through the last of its lifeline to bolt-on ActivityPub to the code only to not find anyone to federate with.
I mean yeah, mastodon doesn't like Nazis
