    There’s clearly a value and a route toward companies hosting their own federated comms. It’s like how email became self-hosted in the '90s: first the bitnets and aols, and unis and orgs, and finally, thanks to Outlook tasting email on the way in, email viruses.

    The same progression will probably repeat for Lemmy and mastodon. Consolidation and self-archiving and all that are valuable, and once HPe finds out how to link ChatGPT to a Lemmy or mastodon, they’ll be all in with something suiting their current quality trend.

    Ideally we’ll have gone crypto by then for private messaging, and go farther for privacy than email and fbchat seems to be able, and that’ll be nice.
