As opposed to what. Silent complacency and making Zuck happy?
Morons keep insinuating that a large company connecting to the Fediverse is the end of it. This is a lie. Stop spreading this lie to whip people into an insane frenzy.
This is the same thing as people being against big companies contributing to open source software, like the Linux kernel. Like... Most contributions that make it usable today are thanks to huge corporations such as Intel or Google, and guess what? Linux is more popular and usable than ever!
I think it is just a total lack of understanding of how open software works.
No, it won't die as in, disappear. It'll get cancer and "die" just like reddit is slowly experiencing. A loss of uniqueness, value and useability, since those require a sufficient number of non-conforming people.
Complete and total rubbish. Each instance can be as insular as they want to be. This is by design.
Correct. But, if they isolate too much, they run out of content of course. He who controls the content controls the internet, basically. If we wish to have any kind of independent existence outside of his eventual control, we would need a sufficient number of disconnected Instances, with enough users on them, right?
