also my issue with Mastodon is not having proper formatting going both sides, Friendica by default uses BBCode but for being customizable theres an addon a lot of people use to support Markdown code too, mbin works fine and support microblogs/threadiverse, posts from Lemmy and PieFed is shown only link and title on Mastodon but it displays title and content properly if its from Friendica/mbin/other microblogging supported platforms
i say they shall go to Mastodon for funding it (they get funds from the EU) otherwise i wish they would go to Friendica instead, they are already on BlueSky (not the politicians though, only few probably) btw
i hope it backfires enough to make large movements for people to use less of US-based tech companies products
