Cory is great on describing the power dynamic of "switching costs" and the Fediverse dramatically turning the tables on that, for the good of each user.

I saw someone say "why try building another closed network and bootstrapping a user base, when you can just use the existing large pool of users"
Now, that said, how much a new AP app can be understood by, or interacted with, on legacy apps like mastodon, or whether you need a new username for each kind of app... Is something different.
@risottobias @tchambers @pluralistic @Mastodon I don’t mind having multiple accounts on the #fediverse. I have my Mastodon account, my WriteFreely instance, and a pixelfed account. I use them for very different things.
It would be super cool to see Mastodon doing more regarding app discoverability on mobile. I’m imagining a small logo on avatars to indicate which app a user is posting from.
