• I’ve got some mixed feelings about this. on the one hand yay for more Fediverse recognition! on the other hand, once companies enter the 'verse and gather users, grow their servers to the scale not possible for independent instance admins due to the costs, and become dominant players, what’s stopping them from cutting their ties to the rest of the Fediverse and taking their userbase away? remember when GTalk and Facebook Messenger were both XMPP-compatible? I’ve seen some instances pledging to not federate with any future instances managed by Google, Facebook and the like in the future for that reason.
