@polotek Good thread. I see a lot of it too. The only realistic complaint is rich jerks who run these huge companies sucking up everyone, calling it theirs, and then cutting off federation from everyone who doesn't opt into that, making everything all fragmented and weird again somehow, a massive weakening. A legitimate concern. But I don't know how possible it is. That's what Threads etc wants. It wants to EEE. Always. That's what the big companies are about. And I totally get people not wanting that here. Big corporate crap ALWAYS wants money, they ALWAYS want eyeballs for ad dollars. At ANY cost. THAT is the problem.
