Project Liberty's core mission focuses on decentralizing social networking through an open-source Internet protocol. This technical framework would allow users to maintain ownership of their data and potentially transfer their social connections and content across different platforms. Which is a significant departure from the current system where user data remains locked within individual platforms.

The proposed system would work similarly to email, where users can communicate across different service providers. In this vision, social media users could maintain their connections and content regardless of which platform they choose to use.

His plans sound a lot like the Fediverse

Except worse because they're just gonna transfer the locus of control and surveillance back to themselves, somehow.

Conservatives don't really get freedom or anything other then iron-fisted control and coercion

Yeah, I don't doubt that.
