I think splitting the user base between them is probably good. Ideally TV/radio will stop defaulting to “tweet us with the hashtag…” They’ll have use multiple channels and that might open the door for Mastodon and the fediverse too.
I’ll keep saying it, but I’d like to see another big player (Microsoft, Google etc) embrace activitypub. That would bring balance and snub EEE for Meta.
Considering the stranglehold that huge platforms have on users, it makes a lot of sense for organizations to have their own fediverse servers, with communities and access they control.
For example, a lot of governments use Twitter as a way to communicate in disaster situations. But since Elon lets anyone with a credit card have a check mark and bans people on a whim you can’t trust that the account is a real one or that it won’t be cut off in time of need. A Mastodon server would solve both of these problems.
