@Yorgus I'm one of those and don't feel under siege at all. For me, Mastodon has been this great platform mostly known only to intellectuals, academics, scientists, writers, and artists. (Not that that's a bad thing.)
I think the expansion is great. I see no downside to it because Mastodon's moderation tools are controlled by the user and scale to any size without needing a staff of thousands of paid "content moderators".
