Interesting and I’d say you’re right. If you were to see a mass adoption of the fediverse (such as Twitter imploding and mastadon becoming the replacement) there would be an immediate attempt by the big tech players to gain control of it in some way. And this is exactly how they would try to do it.

I used reddit is fun but it’s the same story. Literally 15 years using that website daily.

So far this seems the closest to what I was getting through reddit. After these fools doubled down I’m eager to find a new place to get the same basic functionality. We will see if this is it or not.
