I'm not convinced federation is immune to corporatization. The article claims that "it optimizes for a self-governing system of human beings talking to human beings, and not for corporations to push their products." Replace "corporations" with "people", how does federation stop people from using the platform to sell products? Especially when in the same breath, the author admits that operators may be pushed to "solict donations" from their users. Or maybe, ads?
Again, you end up with a system in which money is correlated with user experience, and the operators who most efficiently monetize their userbase will be the most successful.
