At the end of the day I want to escape corporate spaces, the more companies that come into the Fediverse the more I’m likely to leave it.

It’s great if some people want to access their content, but you can already do that through their services.

What we don’t have is a purely people focused space on the Internet. We need to be steering the Fediverse in this direction, not seek to emulate what we left.

Some good ideas in here. I like the idea of allowing users to selectively unblock domains, so that eliminates the whining we’ve heard about how defederating is taking away their freedom of choice, even though it should be the instance’s freedom of choice not to host meta’s hate speech.

Also, as to the concluding paragraph, I agree. I’ve said before this is a good problem to have. The fediverse will get tested against the most dominant social media corporation in the world. If they adopt it and it becomes the de facto standard for many other social media platforms, then it will grow beyond their capacity to control it very quickly.
