Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn't do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)

Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

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 ok. Before the streaming wars.

What is still distinguishing them from Disney, Amazon and the like is their international productions with local film makers. Lets see how that will turn out in the next years ...
