You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?
Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

The big name platforms literally forgot its the community that makes them. They think its their platform. It never has been.
Social media sites used to be a revolving door but for a while the big ones have been pretty locked in. They're getting overconfident and forgetting how easy it is to leave a website
It can happen here over time too. If the people running their instances somehow all get replaced with corpo instances. So we still need to watch out. It would just take a vast amount of effort and is highly unlikely.
If anything I'd say it's far more likely on a platform still establishing itself. Of course, the fediverse has a solid failsafe against stupid corporations actively trying to ruin it. But at this stage anything that scares users away will kill the platform real quick
I would have to agree. Though in the fediverse we can just move instances and pick back up on unaffected communities like nothing happened. Hopefully this means we can avoid enshitification and future mass exodus because a CEO wanted his product to be savory to investors.
