This may be controversial, but I see this as a net-positive for the internet long-term. The more momentum the Fediverse has in terms of growth, the more incentive other services have to join it, and the more everyone on the internet can be on the same page. One of the worst aspects of the internet right now is that different services don’t even speak the same language; there’s so much fragmentation. The fediverse forces services to be about the quality of the service itself, rather than the quantity of the content being hosted.
