Companies have strategically undermined community driven projects in the past many times. We should all keep an eye out for corporate movements in this space. I felt the duty to spread this awareness.
I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it's important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don't want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.
I do like throwing cold water on things, I'm a big fan, but there's no cold water to throw here. Corporations are entities designed to pursue a single goal as efficiently as possible. If our destruction would aid that goal, then they will pursue it. To do otherwise would be a failure of their responsibility to society, which is not the same as an individual's responsibility.
