What would it be like if #ElonMusk converted all the #Twitter into a giant #Mastodon cluster, supported with paid accounts.(could it lose more money that twitter now?) They could build AI filters, do KYC for verified accounts, etc, doing all the normal businessy stuff #mainstreamers like to have in their services, including blocking all the "bad" servers and accounts they want, #blahblahblah.

Lots more possible functionality trickling downstream. More feature competition amongst the server and client projects. More #fediverse engagement.

It would be like when all the big companies started contributing code to #linux or when #IBM had to give up trying to "own" the #PersonalCompter and just let it be the standard that most companies implemented.

I wonder what that would be like?

Although, all the #twittermigration folks would be like, "Shit. NOW where do I go? ;-)
