Gregory's ServerPeople are pushing back on the overly-centralized social media platforms, and this year it led to an explosion of exciting projects in decentralization. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/taking-back-web-decentralization-2023-review

 I want to emphasize here that I think the same must happen for e-commerce. Platforms like Amazon, Facebook, even eBay etc exercise despotic control over vendors and customers. From municipal web access, to hosting services, libraries streaming music or say a town e-commerce platform, to the growth of coop owned platforms, all which could federate a proper anti totalitarian model must evolve. The Bork anti-trust doctrine must be shredded as well. :thread: We need to leverage the revolutionary zeal of the Boston Tea party to reject corporate totalitarian rule by wealth (King George was the worlds richest man in his day). |
@eff ...and one open standard.
Why are you pushing all these one-off projects? We need you advocating for the fediverse.
