That seems like an argument from tradition though. Just because something has default become some way doesn’t mean it has to remain so. I think there’s bigger principles at play, censorship of minority opinions for starters.
Yeah it won’t happen on its own, there would need to be a concentrated effort to oppose .world domination at this point.
It won’t be a problem until .world starts demanding mutual defederation (i.e. instances federated with .world have to pledge to defederate from instances .world deems problematic)

To invoke the fallacy that isn’t always fallacious (slippery slope) that seems like the logical next step. If they amass too much power and are already abusing it this way, what’s to prevent them doing this next?

If they do that, the fediverse will absolutely not take that shit sitting down. Obviously it would depend on what exactly their criteria for problematic is, like if they don’t want you federating with actual neonazi and white supremacist instances I doubt most instances will disagree with that for obvious reasons, but if they have the audacity to deem things like socialism or anti-Zionism problematic or something overly broad like that, I have no doubt that tons of instances not even explicitly on those sides will defederate with .world in protest. People join federated social media specifically because they oppose bullshit like this that regular corporate social media try to pull.
The way .world has dominated is problematic for federation, honestly.
I agree, but it’s too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they’ll only grow bigger.

I don’t think they’ll do that until they federate with Threads 🤑
