Both solve for distributed+decentralized authority with different ideas. Mastodon is an older design, pre-blockchain federation. FC is newer and more a have-cake/eat-it-too design that retains some global affordances which mastodon has to sacrifice.

One of the things both achieve is making it significantly harder for a “bad emperor” problem to occur at a technical level. Whether you think Elon is good or bad there is no doubt he’s an emperor. Every other conventional platform is also set up for monarchist capture.

Mastodon allows you to spin up your own instance if the one you’re on sprouts a mini-Elon. FC is promising something called a hub which will be like your own email server. They don’t address the “good” or “bad” part. They address the “emperor” part. Not perfect, but something.
