YSK about corporations' strategies to kill open source protocols - eviltoast

Why YSK: If we want to keep the Fediverse in the hands of its users and prevent “enshittification” (search it), it’s good to know how corporations kill grassroots projects like this.

I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it’s important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don’t want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

    If this had any grounding in reality, Firefox would be used as little as Cello. Don’t buy into conspiracy theories. Don’t get me wrong: a company could try this but it wouldn’t be sustainable.
