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 This didn’t happen with Wordpress. Why should we expect this to happen with Mastodon?
@lcannell @feditips that's a very good example. WordPress is also centralized now and they direct you to just sign up to their cloud. People got mad about that too.
But nothing bad happened. They still will likely update the FOSS package forever because they depend on their community for free marketing.
