That's why proactive blocking of entrenched interests coming in should be a strategy in fediverse communities. Most totalitarianism friendly instances get blocked I don't see why should Google, Apple, Microsoft, Medium, Valve, etc be allowed free reign.
Regulatory capture.
Walled Gardens.
Lobbyists.
Hm... maybe we SHOULD block our corporate overlords from the fedi.
Is making Nike and Google employees take accounts on servers they DON'T control the only way to make sure they don't capture all fediverse users on a thousand corporate instances, then changing the rules and freezing out independent thought and instances?
