The #fediverse is a consensus between app #developers on the app #features they want to spend time on to connect with the next app.
Taking care of their own herd, the users that flocked to their platform, they form narrow #interoperability bridges, so a user may graze a bit of the grass in the adjacent meadow that is owned by a fellow dev.
Until now this #app-centric land ownership model works quite well, as a recent #poll with delightful outcome among the lifestock has shown. And for every new land owner we can just build exponential more bridges to connect them all. Right?
