And it could potentially allow them to bring over followers from decentralised platforms such as Mastodon.

While I'm not a fan of meta, this would probably bring a lot more, less technical users to the fediverse

That is not a good thing imo

whats the point of any of this if nobody uses it? Really don't understand everyone's aversion to a community having people in it

I think it is a fine line to be honest. You want enough users to have content and collaboration but not so much that it draws the corps in which is what basically happened to the web. Sure tons of web sites exist but a bulk of the traffic only go to a few of them.

Imagine a federated app that makes it easy to create an account. That also automatically gives you a feed of the most popular communities by default.

This app would probably serve ads between posts, hopefully giving you an option to remove the ads for a fee.
