@fiercemilder@mastodon.ie classic Google, and we see this approach in the Web in general with Chrome - get involved, contribute to the community, then when you dominate usage shovel out a million non-standard features and APIs at a blistering rate so that others can't keep up and look lacking in comparison.
I can only think that a lot of instances will immediately defederate on day 0, but what about communties that are less technical, or don't care as much?

@fiercemilder@mastodon.ie I'd like to think that it would resist, but realistically I imagine it would be more of a schism with the people who are all-in on things like Fediverse breaking out into a new/adjacent 'verse that isolates the corp-sponsored ones.
