I see the announcement by a commercial marketing agency of a venture capital based app store joining the fediverse.

Is the we have capable of avoiding as it grows and attracts an increasing number of corporations, who make it their market?

Is our landscape resistant to corporate capture and eventual takeover and domination? Just like the Corporate Web, also decentralized.

There are nice niches on the web, like a bloggosphere, bulletin boards, and news readers, that all still exist. But web as a whole is predominantly corporate, arguably not commons based, for the people by the people.

Social experience design defines "commons based" as "where people are in control of their future on a path of healthy evolution and natural growth". A core principle is being sustainable at all times, and timely acknowledge and mitigate risks.

Is fediverse commons based? Did we cocreate the Future of Social networking?

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. private property social media is *designed* to make you stay there as long as possible — creating familiarity and making you remember and think about it more frequently.

Since intent to be healthier, it does't break your about your time and probably never makes you addicted. The consequence is that it's harder to stay using it more than how much we used corporate social media. Plus, the fact that popular people aren't much here.

Both of the things we "lack of" are interesting only for , not the liberating place we're making.

What I think can be done about Fediverse popularity is attracting more progressive and popular people here — by actually presenting it to them.
