I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in. The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase. If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever. The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen. (1/4)

    I would argue almost all people don’t care what instance they are in as long as it’s “normal” and reliable (won’t go away).

    mastodon is also under the AGPL which makes it very hard to build “abusiveness” into the platform.

    We got better problems to solve.

    federation is the weapon you don’t need to use, because corporations fear you will use it.
