@h Ehhh, see, there are definite rewards to controlling a centralized platform. Which means that anyone who wants to claim those rewards is in competition with anyone who wants a decentralized approach. Like, suppose someone took the mastodon source, cut out the federation, implemented a ton of cool new features, and tried to become the next twitter? As it is, that's impossible because of the AGPL, but under an MIT license that could happen. :/
