Maybe I should follow you every time you post this. This post is absolutely cope. Mastodon is competing with Twitter. It literally was made due to the creator not liking how Twitter was ran, it used Tweetdeck design, Home feed like Twitter and more. It’s not just some textbox. You clearly don’t know the history of mastodon as I’ve seen others. Or maybe you do and like others you’re attempting to rewrite history. The creator of mastodon himself in a podcast (Dot social)said he wants growth 100/150 million mastodon users. That sure sounds like competing and wanting growth, not staying small

You act like this can’t happen on the Fediverse. Defederation causes people to lose their contacts anyways. The two services by mastodon nonprofit makes up 30% of the active Fediverse. If someone purchased mastodon.social & Mastodon.online and did the same things as in your scenarios the results would largely be the same. People would lose their connections and unlike ATProto they’d lose their content as well.

Instances are inherently centralised, what real decentralisation is offered?
