Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

Do you have any links to who owns these organizations? We could also look into common links such as Board of Directors, which hedge funds are invested in them etc...

Great Graphic btw really shows where a lot of people get their information. Would be interesting to contrast it with corporate propaganda channels such as CNN, FOX, MSNBC etc

It would also be interesting to see how many of those accounts are bots used to spread certain messages and control sentiment

Great idea. As of this time I have not put together any well sourced information about social media ownership.

I did make a post on the subject of Who controls mainstream information? that touches on the spirit of that, but without much information on social media. It is well worth exploring! and anyone can be the one to do it 😉
