@toxtethogrady @atomicpoet corporations will buy up large instances, and already sorta do that, but the worst that'd do is send the actual, decentralized, community run fediverse back into obscurity. it'll survive, and it'll still be free.

i have some confidence that those large agglomerations will continue to openly federate for at least a while. they'll be easy to block if they become a problem, and if they're at least okay citizens in the fedi, they'll bring more utility both large and small servers
