I agree, but it's too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they'll only grow bigger.
That seems like an argument from tradition though. Just because something has default become some way doesn't mean it has to remain so. I think there's bigger principles at play, censorship of minority opinions for starters.
Yeah it won't happen on its own, there would need to be a concentrated effort to oppose .world domination at this point.
It won't be a problem until .world starts demanding mutual defederation (i.e. instances federated with .world have to pledge to defederate from instances .world deems problematic)

To invoke the fallacy that isn't always fallacious (slippery slope) that seems like the logical next step. If they amass too much power and are already abusing it this way, what's to prevent them doing this next?
I don't think they'll do that until they federate with Threads π€
