I’ve been saying since a long time, the only way a social network makes sense is if it’s public. It’s a public forum, just like the central square in a city, it makes zero sense giving private companies the kind of power that comes with controlling it.

Yet there’s like 14 people here on the fediverse, where this issues been largely solved.
It’s growing, and I don’t really want the herds and their mindrot either, but it’s the way of the future. Look at the god damn situation we find ourselves in, for example. That’s almost solely to be blamed on social media.
