I disagree with the current CEO of Mastodon about his stance on mid-sized instances. We don't want to be run in isolation, we are part of the Fediverse. "Normal users just want the default", he can repeat that as many times as he wants, it doesn't make it true because of that.

Diversity is the DNA of the Fediverse and Mastodon is just one part of the whole. Thousands of people spend their time and money to make it successful. Anyone who dismisses that and single-handedly tries to market the Fediverse as a Mastodon brand and use "crowding out" techniques to prevent users from even being encouraged to choose an instance from a diversity will ultimately fail.

I am super disappointed with the direction Mastodon Corporation is taking. If there is not enough headwind here soon, then sooner or later it will lead to a schism.

I am worried that he is edging towards preferring "centralised but not owned by Musk".

Obviously hope I'm wrong but it feels like this is where his "logic" is leading him?

It is the same kind of logic as saying "no one is interested in politics" and using that as justification for bypassing democratic processes.

@rysiek @louis

Yeah, that's definitely another possibility :/

We really should not have the same people in charge of the biggest app, the biggest software and the biggest instance.

It is just concentrating too much power, making the owners look down on the community. They are not being incentivised to collaborate any more.
