I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

Matrix also has incredible moderation abilities if you configure proper bots, and is very Discord like with guilds, plus no 8 MB media upload limit nonsense. But there is bloat as well compared to XMPP.
@ksynwa I think Matrix has more users (~64 million) than the Fediverse (~13 million).
Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks.
