Every social media platform I’ve used in the past started out pretty similar then capitalists and advertisers shat all over it and refuse to moderate authoritarians like fascists and nazis because they have money while at the same time censoring violence against authoritarians and genocide footage requires a login to keep track of who is trying to educate themselves so I left.
If something similar happens here subsets of instances can stay federated with each other so hopefully it won’t be a complete wash & require a new platform but we’ll see. I’m still on the fence about a permanent history and not dumping out instance histories periodically or a rolling max archive say 5 years back, but anonymity I think pushes me further to the archive everything side.
