They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.
Good news! Fuck Zuck!
Right. OP should find a safe space and stop "whining"
Right, I guess you would tell immigrants they're free to join another country.
Thanks for calling it "whining" when people engage in conversation about how to organize. You seem nice and tolerant. Not toxic, lover of safe (cruel?) spaces.
Except instead of Nazis (?!?!) it's corporations.
I'm socially liberal and economically on the left (as in I like democracy, I accept capitalism, but I want a lot more socialist policies). Downtrodden people should be given assistance, but everyone else should be free to live out their power and ambition unless it gets in other people's way. I'm against most right wing political and social positions. But I'm even more against defederation and mass blocking. I don't want a safe space. There are too many things we need to process with conversation.

BUT some degree of infighting means we're alive and engaged with the platform. I think it's healthy infighting.

I used to work at the CIA. We did 9/11
