If @mastodon becomes thread-like, I’ll leave social network forever. I’m done with meta wanting to control everything, chiefly the freedom of speech in a network used to communicate. I mean, really? The upsidedown World.

    Here’s a question, forgive my ignorance. Is there a way to determine ownership of an instance beyond the name of the user account that owns it?

    What if meta used their massive amounts of data storage to flood the fediverse with meta-owned instances, making it difficult or impossible to determine what they control and what they do not?

        Furthermore, greed becomes a factor when you consider someone could sell their instance to a corporation with no one being any the wiser.

          This will be an ongoing struggle until capitalism is ended. Westerners think China has a firewall to keep The Truth out, but mostly it’s to keep foreign capitalists out.
