@Edent @rachelcoldicutt I have a feeling that the current fediverse will split again. There will be those to whom reach matters more and those to whom community matters more.The reach side will be run for profit by a few (or one) big companies. There will be lots of abuse, but that's OK as they'll be selling advertising (with regrets, but it allows those who can't pay to be on the platform). The gab/parler people will love this as will the journalists.Then there will be the fedi that existed before we all piled in this November. They value being able to defederate and having a community they are happy to be a member of. There will be the usual rows (justified and not) between instances, but most will rub along with each other at sizes that can be moderated by the communities.
