Which is another way the fediverse is better: The success metric is a vibrant, happy community, not MAUs or engagement numbers, so they make decisions accordingly.
Not to mention that because the fediverse doesn't require the collection of analytics it is less expensive to run. Most of the servers at Facebook are used to gather, sift, and deliver usage metrics. Actually serving content is a cheap and largely solved problem.
YES well said. An instance is measured by it's quality, not it's profitability.
Twitter has always encouraged gawking at horrible behavior, and its culture has norms like "ratio" which promote "bad examples" so that they can be publicly shamed.
Let's not be like Twitter.
Well, an instance can choose to behave like twitter, but everyone else can federate with them or not at their discretion.
