The lead dev of mastodon is kind of a jerk sometimes, but he doesn’t run the instances.
I’m pretty certain that my Masto home instance isn’t going to turn into corporate trash because the the people running it have been running queer servers for decades and are community-funded.
And suppose mastodon does turn into shit? My home instance also supports other fedi protocols.
Companies founded by Jack Dorsey or taking VC money, though? Guaranteed hellsite, just a matter of time.
Fair enough, but money changes a lot of things. History is rife with examples of this. And while that may not be a catch-all rule, there’s a better chance of it happening than not if history serves.
