@atomicpoet is re-centralising any different to some of the *giant* instances. I'm a big believer in it being a federation of planets, some will be bigger some will be smaller, and that works.
It is definitely an interesting journey ahead however it pans out, but ultimately users have *choice* and that's a good thing.
@jared M&A is a kind of recentralization. I certainly don't want one entity to be 90% of the Fediverse.
