The difference between the fediverse and e.g. twitter is that we have agency here; on twitter, we never really had agency – whether it was from the algorithm, or over the withdrawal (or granting of) consent.

I help run a small mastodon server using the hometown fork, and consent for distribution there is scoped to a local community. It's in that flexibility that we might find our way forward – not by wide-scale cultural wars that only serve to diminish agency.
