Did you read what I wrote? Are you just being stubborn about human nature? Don't insult me by implying I don't understand this stuff at least at the surface level. All I'm painting is a potential future, and that future is depended on corporations finding the fediverse worth the effort. If they don't, NBD. If they do, I can assure you they will grind away at what the fediverse is until it's shaped like what they want, federation be damned. Like I said, maybe you can carve out a corpo-free area, but that depends on the instance operators wanting to put out the effort and money while corps are potentially waving cash in their direction. Humans are shortsighted and greedy.

Corporations will try ofcourse that's what they do, but denying meta federation from the getgo goes against the philosophy of federation. The points you're making NEED to be made, we NEED to observe how meta handles it and how all services are affected. We can decide from there whether your doom scenario holds any merrit whatsoever.
