@Gargron Similar to how email is being coopted by Google, I can see a situation where some major company creates a Fediverse server that is so good that everybody uses it. Then they'll turn off federation and we're back to where we were before.
Google already did it with XMPP.
@loke @Gargron the good thing is that people are wise to that, so they can defederate from or silence such a server.
In fact, given Google's moderation policies would probably be similar to Purism's, I suspect even if they aren't wise to that the incentives would be skewed towards defederading. 😂
It can't be the best option if joining that server only shows you other people on the same server via a custom app and a tiny subset of the rest of the fediverse.
