@ricci the nice thing is that as long as our feeds remain mostly populated by non-m.s users, they will have no incentive to take over the network, since they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did.

It's only when a *lot* of users are seeing high values, around 70% or more. At that point, they have a critical mass and can do something. Heck, even if there's lots of people on m.s, if they follow people *outside* of m.s, it provides a kind of insurance, since they're likely to jump ship if they can no longer see posts from the cool people they follow.

Not to say we shouldn't worry, but we should definitely understand the mechanisms of how enshittification would take place in a federated system with a high-power node.
