It's a double-edged sword. I love the fediverse for what it is, and if it continues to be a niche place for good people to socialize, that would be okay with me. I would also love to see the Fediverse or some future version of it become a permanent replacement for corporate-owned social media. That can't ever happen if major social activities that humans engage in aren't represented.
I would like to eventually see government communications, brand engagement, sales (if not ads), dating, customer service, political organizing, event coordinating, ticketing, vlogging, etc. as a part of fedi, meaning that people don't have to rely on corporate-owned communication for online community. Would fedi also lose something precious in that process? Yes. would our society be a whole lot better? Absolutely.
