@mastodonmigration @davetroy @yacc143 @clive @peterbrown For me, a priority is community structure and distributing the risk in the Fediverse outside Mastodon, not centralizing more resources in the current structure of Mastodon. (Though I'm at a central Mastodon instance, and do my little monthly contribution - so I really am hoping for Mastodon gmbh to thrive: I just hope it moves away from benevolent dictator for life, especially since both benevolence and life can't be counted on for sure.)

In this searing investigative report on #Bluesky @davetroy asks how are the users flocking to there safe from EXACTLY THE SAME THING that happened at Twitter/X.@yacc143 @clive @peterbrown @mastodonmigration @davetroy Yes, right up until they're not. It's not at all straightforward even before that: I've seen plenty of people making the case that the centralization there is slowing Mastodon development down.
It's a common model, but inherently risky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life
Consider the turmoil with WordPress at the moment.

Thankfully, non-Mastodon Fediverse/Open Web is big enough for us to decamp together if Mastodon degrades.
