this article is stupid. boo hoo capitalism. the number one thing that harms the fediverse is easily the frivolous defederation that people do all the time. it’s the reason why I have to have multiple microblogging accounts, and now multiple link aggregator accounts, on different instances, just so I can talk to everyone. these same shitty little tyrants are coming over from reddit and deciding who you are allowed to talk to and what you are allowed to talk about, and it’s splintering the network into neighborhoods that have to guess what the other ones are ever talking about. enjoy your insular echo chambers.

So you’re talking about two things, the article being stupid and your troubles with defederated instances.
The solution to defederated instances is to join a fully federated instance, if you really want that. Note, there are various reasons to defederate, including spam accounts. Anyways, it’s easy to find fully federated instances. No need to maintain multiple accounts.
All this was off-topic. Sadly, you did not say much on-topic.
And this is different then you having to have a Twitter, Google, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc etc account how exactly? Difference with federated networks is that those “insular echo chambers” (not my experience, but hey) can work together and in actuality do work well together.

The point of activitypub is to not have walled gardens. If meta is successful then you bed RTeddit is probably going to have to federate.
Tumblr and Wordpress is already coming.
Mozilla is too.
