The problem can be easily sidestepped by referring to it as a "Mastodon alternative", rather than a "Mastodon instance".

(Even if it weren't that easy, I'd still agree that referring to it as a "Mastodon instance" is both wrong and weird, regardless of how popular Mastodon is.)

Or even "ActivityPub profile" or "fediverse profile". That's what it is, a non-interactive profile that appears on, but isn't limited to Mastodon.

But it's clickbait that worked, so maybe discussing that is equally pointless.
