@FinchHaven@mastodon.sdf.org @raccoon I don't see any malicious motive on Rochko's part. The distributed nature of Mastodon's instances was posing a huge problem to adoption. It's either funnel people to a default server and let them change later or risk forever being a niche social network. It may even be too late to change its fate. People want their service to "just work," and BlueSky has likely avoided Mastodon's biggest problem.
