Gregory's Server
A lot of what makes Mastodon's model attractive depends on smaller nodes being better, so it would not have an edge in attracting new users either. So, I think we only have something to gain.

@Gargron On this point, I think @Jack@bots.tinysubversions.com wants to decentralize Twitter itself, as he's hinted that in his comments. However, even if he made nodes for every "topic" on the site, those nodes would still be bigger than most instances, I think. 🤷🏾♂️ |
I think Twitter adopting ActivityPub would be a good thing and a victory for the web. Twitter's current lock-in on its users is its strength, and weaking that lock-in by embracing decentralization would remove essentially all network effects-based obstacles to people moving away from it and spreading out in the fediverse.
