    I can see a potential path for it’s downfall.

    1. A competing service starts using AT and starts to get popular.
    2. BS starts losing money and slowly steers AT protocol to be more friendly to themselves and less friendly to competition.
    3. Competition forks AT, fragmenting the communities and the whole thing implodes.

      That is also part of people’s worry if one instance gets way too big on Lemmy, Mastodon etc. There is potential to change their federation scheme, closing themselves off from outside servers through unique features made incompatible to federate, eventually returning to a centralized model of its own.
