_ed , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Mike Macgirvin recounts the depressing history behind Mastodon's rendering of `article` vs `note`

Yeah it’s detrimental that approaches used in other apps don’t render in mastodon. It weakens the potential of the fediverse, and for those that understand fedi = mastodon. Who knows how it will react to proposals for groups etc.

Great to see he's enthusiastic about it, not sure genpop is though.

/Edit post from Nilay on the comments

It’s more like - what if I just posted here on The Verge, and you could follow me on Mastodon natively? That’s way bigger than ICQ, I think.

The idea you could post from your own business/personal/group website and not have to run through social an intermediary that holds you hostage is a killer feature.
