Isn’t “it takes two” couch coop?

IMO the way to prevent such a scenario from happening is not by blocking Meta, but by inviting equally large competitors to join the fediverse. The described tactic can only work if you have close to a monopoly.

Because you were replying to this statement by OP:

and as societies get richer in material wealth they produce fewer children and have the luxury to pay attention to things like the environment and their impact on it.
