They just want to avoid EU regulators. And also that EEE thing is just bs fear mongering “they want to take mastodon away from you!!!1!!!”. Email still exists and is alive, xmpp still exists and is alive, http still exists and is alive, all open standards and protocols that have been embraced by big tech companies. Big companies using and connecting to other servers can’t make them disappear. People who use the fediverse today won’t stop using it tomorrow even if the theoretical mass exodus to the large platform happens like described in that one blog post, because the fedi power users of today are there because they don’t like meta or twitter. There will always be users on activitypub whether meta uses it or not, and nobody is forcing you to use their platform either.
Its not about destroying a service but its momentum which was successful with xmpp back in the day.
Also, its not „fear mongering“ it is being cautious and denying the entity that invented corpo social media entry to a space one feels comfortable at, one instance at a time.
I‘m part of the fedipact so I‘m biased. But maybe learn to respect others opinions. You can do what you like, we can too.

Very short sighted imo but you do you.
