It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

That's already happening. Bots are posting from open instances, and malicious instances are manipulating votes.

The best solution I see is allowlisting servers you want to federate with.
