@Mastodon@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu The fundamental problem have with mastodon, and all the current "open protocol" solutions. Is that they are vulnerable to the snowball effect and manipulation. I as a user do not control my data/account, my instance does. As instances grow they'll become more and more likely to take more and more control and eventually even command how the protocol develops. Which is exactly what happened to Email. Mastodon needs to become decentralized, not just federated.
