More importantly, the fediverse can represent a viable alternative to what FANG wants to build.
The internet will be divided into walled, tracked, identity based, surveilled regions, and truly anonymous regions.
Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.
Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn't do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)
I would agree. Mastodon made search opt-in. There will always be communities and users that refuse to be searchable and that should be fine.
FAANG originally meant the silicon valley giants. Netflix is obviously one of them, even tho it is falling behind now.

Yeah, they were the ones who pioneered streaming

FAMG doesn’t have the same ring to it but i hate that Microsoft is missing.
Or we keep FANG for Nestle? Maybe not relevant but any opportunity to say Fuck nestle.
(Let's) Fucking Annihilate Nestlé, Guys
