MODERATORS
Given how federation works (and my limited understanding of it) I believe not much will change, since they simply can't Extinguish. It's all federated into different instances under different moderation teams. They hold no 'ultimate control' over anything beyond their own instances
I also have limited understanding, but these are huge corporations with huge userbases. If they start giving "helpful" input on how the ActivityPub protocol should develop, it may exert a strong pressure/influence due to their sheer size.
I know it's not the same situation, but it reminds me of how Google keeps trying to push shady stuff into Chromium, even though it's supposed to be free, open-source software.
