@alahmnat Hm, but don't people's home instances decide how to display federated posts? So if, say, the NYT had its own Mastodon instance, but most of their readers read it from other instances, they would still be vulnerable to disruption if the most popular instances started filtering algorithmically, right?
@alahmnat But, assuming the readership was spread out across multiple different Mastodon instances, it would still be better than the status quo, because one or two companies wouldn't hold all the cards.
