Why are people so interested in mass adoption of things like fediverse?

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan but it seems like the fediverse could theoretically exist with like 5 users whereas a commercial company needs users for revenue. It feels like we are using the masters tools to try to destroy the masters house

Sorry I'm fairly new to all this, does defederating mean you break connections to the larger fediverse?

Like I make a server that has 5 people on it and then defederate the server, those 5 people now can't communicate with the fediverse at large?

You don’t defederate your whole instance. You defederate from specific instances.

It’s basically like blocking a whole server, so if threads defederates from mas.to, users on either site can’t talk to eachother
