No but once the magazine/community has been created it doesn't really matter which instance it lives on because any user from any instance can post, comment and mod in that magazine.
Don't do the work of monopolizing for them! The great thing about the fediverse is that we can all spread out and it doesn't really affect the user experience but it sure makes it a lot harder for wall street to buy a large portion of the network.

Earlier I saw these two people giving their dogs puppachinos just so they could film it with their phones and presumably put it on TikTok. Like, lady your dog and his dog friends do not care about your social media.
I've used it for a few years and I like it, I pay once per year and it's the same T-Mobile service. There's no roaming though so I always get a local esim when I travel abroad. Kind of iffed T-Mobile just bought them though. They say oh we're actually keeping prices the same and giving you more data (as mint has traditionally done every other year) but I have a feeling this will be the last data increase we'll ever see. And also some people complain about deprioritization but as a former T-Mobile customer I can tell you it's the same places like busy malls or stadiums where direct T-Mobile customers aren't having a good time either.
Sort of, you don't have to subscribe to their communities or follow users from Meta. We don't want to talk with Facebook users, that's not why we're here. There isn't a single person on Facebook who would feel disrupted if they suddenly didn't see my content anymore, either.
And really it's nonsense. If we wanted to be on Facebook then we already would be. Meta coming in and telling everyone how to run their instances because a Facebook user might see their content, won't bode well.
A popup that tells me to enter my email but won't let me just enter dave@mailinator.com and continue reading is effectively a paywall.
Being served food in a coffee cup reminds me of being at camp when we had pioneer day. Only the adults got to eat the ham soup out of the bowls, all the kids had to use the blue enamel metal coffee cups.

Yep they'll be a good actor until they're the biggest instance and they'll try to turn the fediverse into whatever verse they're feeling like that week and shove it down our throats. We'll end up right back here in 3 years of we choose as a community to federate (i.e. give free content) to Meta.

Exactly, they might play along in the beginning, even stretch it by putting all the non-Meta conversations in green text. But once their instance becomes the largest one, they'll start making it difficult for everyone else.
It seems like when a community is novel to an instance and someone subscribes, it can take a few hours to pull down a copy of all the posts. Maybe pull down is the wrong word, but sometimes I'll be browsing new/all and dozens of posts from a new community will start flying in.
