Why would you want them to? Look up the "September that never ended" and what that effect does to communities.
I would like to see the Fediverse grow overtime, also we haven't had to deal with a Decentralised network across the internet before, who knows what may happen.
You say that while using the WWW, a decentralized network of Webservers and Webbrowsers all Access the world.
And you say that while using Domain names, which certainly don't come from your /etc/Hosts but from a decentralized DNS Network of servers all around the world.
That's different from a Protocol that anyone can use, boot up a server that has access to the whole Fediverse active posts & user base.
The Fediverse is making it so much easier for people to have users across their own social network platforms, bending the protocols to work with what vision they have, well still allowing others to access it.
