Yes, this seems to be the nature of #FOSS and #Fediverse.
The #Fork of a Fork of a Fork.....

Waste of time, power and know-how!

@Chief335 It isn't even a fork. It's developed completely from scratch.

Someone wanted easier account migration than on Mastodon, not knowing that there already is easier account migration than on Mastodon.

It's like the 2010s when quite a number of people decided that what the Internet needs is a free, open-source and decentralised Facebook. And they started developing it, all because they hadn't heard of Diaspora*, much less Friendica.

Even considering that it won't actually work as advertised, there's prior art which was completely ignored:

FEP-612d "Identifying ActivityPub Objects through DNS"

The bigger issue is that it's hard to divorce your identity from being tied to a "rental" domain name by tying it to a rental domain name.

If you don't pay the rent, you cease to exist.

@Mike Macgirvin ?️ Crazy things are done by people who seem not to know the Fediverse beyond Mastodon.

Unfortunately, their entire audience doesn't now the Fediverse beyond Mastodon either.

@Jupiter Rowland I checked out Mastodon around 2017 or so and I remember there were talks about account migration back then, but no mention of hubzilla or nomadic identities.

I didn't see the great benifit in signing up to someone elses instance and being at the mercy of them over just being at the mercy of the traditional centralized platforms, and running my own instance was not an option so I've just been staying away from the fediverse altogether. That was until this week when I learned about nomadic identities.
