slyborg@feditips @JimmyB So, two points.
1) Fediverse in toto is far too puny to be monetizable, it’s ludicrous to speak of billionaire buyouts of a thing that is literally 0.1% of Xitter’s current size.
2) If you believe in federation as a concept, then it shouldn’t matter how big an instance is. It gets bought out, you defederate it, anyone on it that cares moves. This is literally the whole point of it.
My feeling is that a large part of the anti-mastodon.social animus is driven by dislike for Eugen, who, you know, started this whole thing. If you don’t like Gargron, then beat him at his own game, build a better instance and drive signups there. Mammoth is actually doing this.
