I think federation is the path forward. It's quite obvious to me. I'm not too too smart, but my gut is usually pretty accurate. Community funded, open source and decentralization is the only way we are gonna make it past the Fermi paradox imo, in all facets of life, including the internet, and especially social media.
The framework for the feddiverse is so organic that it just makes sense. It's good shit.
We've shown that it works for e-mail, it works for the web, it works for phones...
The age of monolithic web services is likely coming to an end, certainly for social media. The "free until we dominate the space, then enshitify" business model is proven not to work. Anyone who continues to invest in it is a fool.
I agree. People starting to realize if we work together we can have the things we want without a central figurehead. Social media especially cause it's literally just us.
