@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk Where does that expectation come from? It's contrary to the whole promise of Mastodon and hasn't been true, ever. Mastodon has always interoperated (often imperfectly, of course) with other AP software like misskey, calkey or whatever it's called now, pixelfed, lemmy, and all the earlier things from before I was here, some even predating Mastodon. Usually you don't even know or care what software someone else's instance is running.

@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk I don't think the actual expectation is "posts stay on Mastodon". I think it's something more like "posts stay on small to medium sized non-corporate instances became everyone is expected to defederate any instance launched by a giant corporation".
