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.

@feditips I think you might be underestimating how much of a defence being spread across multiple servers is.
If mastodon.social pulls anything, we *will* all block it, and more servers will spring up.
This is literally as per Eugen's design.
@feditips Also: if using the Mastodon software itself becomes onerous, then servers will switch to one of a long list of alternatives that are perfectly interoperable with it: Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey etc etc etc
