@aleabdo@hubzilla.com.br @yaso@mastodon.social thanks for these smart thoughts, and I really like the concept of “territories”. I agree that #ActivityPub should also be a prime target, not just of governance, but of support, maintenance and funding.
I would also argue that the instance-level choice is limited by the space within which it takes place, and that is one of a monopolistic service on the Fediverse. Everyone likes to mention #Misskey and #Pleroma but for now #ActivityPub is dominated by communication dependent on Mastodon code. So maybe that’s another important avenue - ensuring plurality of the Fediverse. Which, I would argue, will not happen organically. In the interview, Rochko signals that he’s expecting further centralisation around mastodon.social - with key design decisions about the shape of a key mechanism - the server selection interface - being decided by him alone.
And on your last point, I agree, but would add that this is not just about using alternative providers, but also services. I should switch to #Misskey. :) (But I don’t know how to do that!)
