Looking at the numbers since you made this change, it's really hard to see it as "for better" from a decentralization perspective.
* mastodon.social now has 32% of active Mastodon users, so the ecosystem is less decentralized than it was
* overall active Mastodon usage has decreased, so it didn't address that problem either.
As I wrote in A faux "Eternal September" turns into flatness
"The biggest strength of Mastodon (and the Fediverse) is that people with niche interests and from marginalized identities, cultures, and communities can find (or work with others to create) an instance that match their priorities and preferred norms. Why not lean into that?
But no."
