There is a legitimate concern with one platform on the fediverse becoming the “main” platform. That platform will make all the decisions when it comes to wider fediverse. Much like GMail is now with email.

Yes, but unlike with Email, I can host my own instance and expect it to federate with other major instances. If you have a residential IP then you can forget hosting you own Email because major players don't want anything to do with you due to spam.

It's possible this can happen to the fediverse, but I'm more optimistic about it because the fediverse is generally not a business venture like Email is now.

Indeed, however it's not worse than the current situation is now with Reddit.
