Yea unfortunately though, the problem isn’t making such a thing, it’s getting the average joe on it. As long as the vast majority of people stay on centralized corporate controlled platforms, it’ll just be the same ol dance over and over
We’d need something like EU forced interoperability with some actual teeth
Yea, but even getting to a critical mass threshold like that is going to be quite a feat. It took something like, what, 15 years for the internet in general to “catch on” with the general population? And that was without rich Nazi fucks fighting to keep people on the centralized platforms
It’s doable, but the old saying “Make something good and they will come” isn’t really applicable lol

I don’t actually think it’s necessary to get everybody on it, just enough people that it’s a thriving ecosystem.

Yeah, but mastodon and lemmy seem to be doing all right. I’m cautiously optimistic.
