I can reach millions of users, billions potentially, with WordPress. My WordPress is also compatible with Mastodon since I installed the ActivityPub plugin.

I understand the federated social web has a technobabble aspect to it. I am sorry you aren't with it but that's honestly not my problem.

And that's exactly why Mastodon will never reach mass adoption. That's my only point: Mastodon is for techies. It is not and will never be a viable competitor to centralized social media. The idea that "companies should run their own Mastodon instances" as a way to replace Facebook is absurd.

not asking for that though. The only thing I'd like to see is for content management systems to adopt the protocol for federation since it's a W3C recommendation. smart media and institutional players will do this

You're on the wrong post then, because I've been responding to the article which is arguing that companies should switch to Mastodon over traditional social media. This isn't a thread about Mastodon in general.
