@HausAmWestbahnhof My blog has been federated for years, and not only do I still have a Mastodon account, which is what I use primarily, but I also continue to use my Friendica account, which I use to write structured and formatted texts that I don't publish on the blog, long replies to accounts I follow, and also to automatically reshare my blog posts.
A federated blog used in conjunction with a Mastodon account is like a camper used in conjunction with a scooter: with the former, you can take your home around the world; with the latter, you use it to get around town or to a village festival. And a Friendica account has the same advantage. Except that instead of being a scooter, it's like a dirt bike (amphibious. With a small tent on top 🤣): a little less agile than a scooter, but very versatile.
