@j2bryson @alasaarela But this exactly was the problem from the beginning: The other side could be bought, so it had to happen. Just like i.e. github. The #fediverse can not be bought, just like #codeberg can not be bought. If purchasing is possible, purchase will happen and always by someone in the 0.1%. We should use unpurchasable infrastructure designed to avoid any kind of lock-in. I do not see any actor declaring the birdsite a utility in the forseeable future.
