npub1pqkcawxz93urvkuqeqtmk55zncp6hevdzar33xj8cs96q6jlm40qrjz65u (npub1pqk…z65u) How many users are on hosting services like masto.host? That's a form of centralization, too, and Musk could just buy those. Should we also lobby against such services, then?
You seem to think that people like Musk can only be deterred if confronted with a huge network of relatively small instances all of which he would need to buy. But I think the real deterrence is that the protocol/software is open, that it's easy to start new servers and that accounts can be migrated.
