The beauty of the Fediverse is that no single entity controls it... In 12 years, I'd wager we're still around.

and there will be 1000000s of different versions

10 of which will be enormous and will be the vast majority of what most users see.

True. That's already happening now if you notice lemmy.world, mastodon.social, pixelfed.social, etc.

This ! Also, I'm kind of disappointed how many of my peers just waited for the #reddit #blackout to pass, so they can go back to buissness as usual. Supringsingly, to me, there are a lot of people who enjoy corponet just fine.

Yeah, a temporary protest was not gonna do the trick. But hey, oftentimes, things gotta get worse before the get better.

It's just a matter of how much worse.

With open source and interoperability, this is a good thing, because then you can choose the experience you wanna have. You're not bound to a single vendor-locked platform that's subject to continuity issues or a degraded experience that forces you to move elsewhere and start over in terms of following/followers. You simply pack up and migrate to another instance.

I would wager most of nowadays instances have either fallen into obscurity or just finished existing, I think we will see instancea more focused in scalability if thr fediverse grows in popularity, whoch will kind of dominate the space.
