Its not about welcoming it, we literally cant stop them from doing it. The only thing you can do is join instances that dont federate with corporate instances and thats where the schism will likely happen.
Volkswagen-Audi Group (VAG) wont want to federate with instances that also host hentai and cuck porn. So you will see a divide, between the corporate and heavily administrated instances (Administration that would cost money. Either adds, sponsorship or paid membership that you would let your kids have accounts on and "Free Fediverse" instances that would be far less restrictive.
Eventually the masses will want to follow the corporate and sanitised fediverse because these people have marketing budgets and can pay teams (have AI) generate content for their brand and the "free fediverse" instances will become the fringe groups.
For uh science, which servers host hentai?
But in all seriousness, even if they claim to not be affiliated with a corp, you still can't be sure. God knows a lot of us would sell out faster than reel big fish if they pulled a dump truck of money to our front door.
But seriously I need some fediverse porn.
Thats the thing, they wont have to pretend not to be. If all the big corporate instances federate with each other and only federate with instances that moderate their content to be largely in line with meta and their instance when that group has 2 billion members, it will be the default.
Free user owned instances will be isolated pockets of resistance. If the "reddit blackout" and the continual survival of facebook and twitter is any indication, casual users just dont care.
