Other countries/regions are making progressive strides, but it feels like we’re sliding backwards.

(I still think we should capitalize on this moment and bring way more people to the fediverse.)

    To me it’s just a confirmation that accumulation of wealth is not something to wish for. One person – or a small group of people – shouldn’t be able to make this kind of decision on their own.

    Very little if not nothing changes for Twitter. They’re losing a marginal amount of users, just like every time there’s a scandal around Facebook, some people leave, but the vast majority stays and they still benefit from network effect and will do for the foreseeable future.

    I’m trying not to be pessimistic but it’s not an easy exercise.
