@aral Hmm, potentially a forgone conclusion, though I expect it to go like this:
1. Someone writes a very nice mastodon-like app but they license it liberally (not AGPL)
2. Someone makes a custom instance with some "cool features" which are not being upstreamed or shared
3. Lots of cool instances with cool extra features
4. Some of these instances become more commercial-centric
5. When the VCs come, already too many political connections between instance admins to make blocking possible.
