That is true, but I don't think that's a good enough reason not to use them as the representations. The interoperability will improve over time, it just has to be developed more.
However, I am also hesitant about it for another reason in that I'm not really certain any of these platforms are static or will just forever keep changing over time. How do you represent a forever changing, evolving, dynamic network of platforms?
Also, we should try and focus on what are some of the ways that it could be improved as well.

PC obsession? Seems like a strong word. I'd say they're just throwing carrots. Not good carrots either, just the ones that were already destined for the compost bin.
commendable navigation
I appreciate that a page doesn't seem to have to reload when I hit the back button, it remembers the position on the page where I was at before.
commendable comment button
Just wanted to say that I appreciate that clicking on the 'comments' button takes a user directly to the comments section of a post and isn't just a duplicate button like most of the other implementations I've seen. Awesome :)
Wow, that is much more complicated than I had imagined! I respect that, and thanks for the consideration. I like all the progress I'm seeing over here on Piefed, keep up the great work!
post overlay design
When I used to use Reddit, one of my favorite things about it was the design of the navigation. Specifically I am referring to when you open a post, and the only thing needed to go back is to click in the margin.
Alexandrite also implements this same type of functionality.
If it hasn't been suggested already, I'd like to know if this is something that could be implemented here as well.
