Is Apple going to make a Mastodon server? I think that’d be pretty cool. In Apple fashion, it would require an app only available on iPhone and Mac, and this app wouldn’t be able to connect to third party instances.
But it would move like half the US to Mastodon, which would be great.
That’s an app and an instance but they can’t take over the Fediverse. Even if they got the biggest instance that’s all they have. The Fediverse isn’t opened by anyone so Apples influence doesn’t matter in that regard. It would only matter if they were able to buy up every project and the largest instances
Ngl, I’m curious to see how it all shakes out. An apple-run mastodon instance would probably bring a ton of traffic to the site.
Enough that it might crush the network for a while.
