This is good. I know Mastodon would be better, but right now I'm just happy that public agencies are moving away from that far-right platform owned by a fascist asshole who gained global political power because of money...

Yes. Once a large enough concentration of users is achieved, the network effect kicks in and the users are locked in.
With that amount of users, it becomes a juicy target for businesses who colonize the place to milk said users. That's assuming the original founders haven't already been kicked out and replaced by suits who just invite businesses, influencers, creators, propagandist and so on in and charge them for the privilege.
