Why do people call fediverse mastodon? There's other and better Twitter clones that use activitypub, such as pleroma or soapbox...

  Where does the author do this? All I see is, "you can find me on the decentralized Mastodon".

    I post a lot of photos, particularly of flowers, to mastodon.social because I get very good engagement on them. I know a lot of people using Pixelfed find them, favorite them, and boost them.

  Why did you pick those two? Usage-wise mastodon looks 100x larger than pleroma, and I can't get stats on soapbox. I'll defend that user count isn't all that matters (these aren't venture capital backed businesses), but I'm curious why you prefer those?

  Because people have heard of mastodon, unlike pleroma or soapbox.

  That's the privilege of being 98% of the Twitter-clone fediverse.
