this is why the fediverse is so important. i’ve already talked to people from kbin seamlessly on here, and neither lemmy nor kbin are hosted by a single party billionaires could buy and/or manipulate. mastodon is the same story, and all these platforms are rapidly gaining popularity.
the next arab spring won’t be organized on twitter. if it happens tomorrow it will be on telegram or matrix, and if it happens five years from now it will be on the fediverse. dismembering twitter will be about as useful for it as taking shots at myspace would have been.
we do definitely have an interregnum for now so like, their money isn’t flushed completely down the drain, but it’s quite close to it.
