There's one thing about #Elon that we can be really thankful for.. after years of slow but steady growth, he caused #Mastodon to go mainstream in the blink of an eye.

(Though I still hope that this popularity doesn't lead towards too much corporate interest and subsequent takeover)

@smallcircles I don't think Mastodon can just be taken over in the same way, as we are decentralised.

Corporates can have a instance on here and follow the same culture, rules and lore as everyone else.

@zleap the decentralisation only offers some protection, but not enough. But Mastodon is okay. Corporations can build competing apps and market them better to the masses.

Note that I am referring to the 'mainstream fedi' going corporate. On the fringes can still be a beautiful fedi where I'd feel comfortable.

Let's hope we don't get in the situation in the first place.
