@feditips okay but what’s the point of creating all these instances? Seems like a lot of work to achieve the same total outcome as Twitter. Wont the popular instances eventually push out the smaller ones? Are people willing to find which one works for them best or just join the big ones? This video tells you the HOW of this system but not the WHY or the importance of this system.

@feditips what if someone bought all the fediverses? How much would it take for them to sell? Small ones a few thousands. Maybe fee million for larger ones? These videos makes claims that are obviously ludicrous. Grand statements that have no truth. Networks are like websites. They can be owned. But the Fediverse is like the World Wide Web; a new site can always rise on its standard to compete. It allows completion if need be. The ability to compete needs to be more pushed.

@feditips you assume those servers users would move. What if they don’t care? What if they aren’t an activist like you? What if they are just average users who are comfortable with what they got and don’t care it changed ownership? The Fediverse as a new Internet is what needs to be pushed. A new avenue for competition between ideals.

@feditips yes there is. You tell your friends on said platform you’re moving to a new one and they come along. On Fediverse let’s say Musk buys all the big ones. Can’t he then block any other ones from talking to his. So if I move off Musk’s owner popular fediverses onto a different one but he blocks alll that aren’t his won’t my friends who didn’t move off too be unable to see my messages?

@feditips what if the owner of the Fediverse blocks outgoing and incoming communication from any server they don’t own. They buy the apps people use and modify the code if it currently doesn’t allowing blocking to then block if they want to?

@feditips So you think of a Fediverse grew to be as dominate as Twitter and suddenly shut off access to all smaller ones the users would leave? Treat this for what it is, tell people they yes a Twitter powerful Fediverse could exist and for a time would be dominate, but this open source concept means a new challenger could chip away if they had a good idea.
