Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

This is quite toxic attitude. You should focus on what's good for you - not what's bad for someone else.

Monopolies are bad for everyone except their CEO and stockholders.

Eh, what's bad for capitalists is what's good for the rest of us

I don't agree. We're not talking about a person or a charity. We're talking about a VC-backed company. They can fuck off and die, and it's not toxic – it's just common sense.

But two corporate entities competing are better than one secure in it's market share. Anyone with any sense would reject both for a fediverse option if it could be made to work well enough obviously but still.

Only marginally... maybe. Duopolies are still really shitty for consumers and that's the best outcome to this. Significantly better would be if more people would realise what made internet amazing in the beginning and that logical consequences from that are that public spaces in the internet where the content comes from the people should be owned by the people.

But competition IS good for me.

If people start migrating to better experience and better communities, they’re going to have to step up to stop the bleeding.

Reddit can get away with making terrible user experiences and killing 3rd party solutions because no alternative has lured enough of their base away.
