This article sums it up very well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

A monopolistic corporation joining a free (not gratis, free as in free software) network is always a hostile takeover.

I hate this article since it compares to XMPP. A much more accurate comparison would be seething like E-mail, I believe.

I get it… I’m likely going to block meta instances from the servers I have whenever I have time to figure out how to.

How is the comparison to XMPP lacking?

Anyways, the same thing is starting to happen to E-Mail as well: http://www.igregious.com/2023/03/gmail-is-breaking-email.html?m=1

not suprised, E-mail has been on that downward spiral for a while. The only thing keeping that alive is many independent E-mail servers.
