What did Mastodon win exactly?

Threads being the biggest Mastodon instance and federating with mastodon.social (Meta signed contracts with instance maintainers to do so) and the other 3 largest instances (Pawoo, baragg (d_o_t) net, and mstdn (d-o-t) jp) taking up more that >70% of the total users using it?

That doesn't sound good.

The CEO sold all of us out and was the only one that made real money on Mastodon.

In what world did the Mastodon CEO made money out of Mastodon beside the small public salary he's been taking? You are making things up.

I won't doubt your statistics. In practice, my experience is that it really is distributed.

I just went to my feed (only people I follow), and although mastodon.social showed up a few times, the majority of users I interact with are on distinct servers. So out of 20 people, I see 17 different servers.

My feed will not be impacted much if mastodon.social dies.
