I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

@feditips I am very worried about this as well. Rochko's original idea of Mastodon was good, obviously, but what he's doing is making himself vulnerable to a buyout and fragmenting Mastodon's integrity. (And making only himself rich).
I do hope that accounts that have been on Mastodon Social for a while consider migrating to smaller, more personable instances.
If enough accounts migrate (as a continuous thing), it would keep the risk somewhat lower at least.
