That's certainly the topic in a lot of the dev circles, with this big push to make a couple of the mastodon instances into big monolithic silos - just like #Faceplant, #Twatter, and #IInstaSPAM.

That, and the branding strategy with three word #Fediverse mostly scrubbed from his masto branded websites, like a slap in the face to the community.

It's not good to continue encouraging people to believe it's the only component of the network, themselves becoming really confused when they begin meeting folks on other types of Fediverse server platforms - especially when the model is to promote greater numbers of smaller instances instead of monoliths that stand in stark contrast to decentralization.

With the other platforms already supporting federated chat and groups the relevance of mastodon is dubious.
