If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

Cool, everybody can build these companies up so that they can launch their IPOs and be controlled by a new board of directors fresh from wall street. It will all be so different.

Not commenting on Bluesky, but the others have taken steps to differentiate themselves

Mastodon was handed over to a non profit

Signal has been under a nonprofit

Being open source also means that people can fork the apps if something changes, or apps + server code in the case of a lot of fediverse software

The whole point of federation is that that can't really happen, or at least they can fuck a single server, but not the whole ecosystem.
