@nebulaSomething else I will say about the VC farm thing, there have been a couple billionaires who have made their own social networks at this point, like Spoutable, talking about how they want an open space that isn't overrun by Nazis, but it feels a bit telling that the Fediverse exists already and has tens of millions of users, but they decide to go off and make their own walled garden that's basically just Twitter except they control the content instead of Elon.I wonder what would happen if one of these billionaires decided to actually put their money where their mouth is, make an instance, and hire someone to make a solid fork or fund the development of one of the major server software projects, like Mastodon or Misskey.
