With Zuckerberg going full Musk last week, we can no longer let billionaires control our digital public square.

I think this is a good thing. However, as John Gruber put it:

And with a team of “technical advisors and custodians” that includes both the executive director and the president of the Mozilla Foundation, I suspect this initiative might prove as successful as Firefox.

But still, I hope the recent moves by Muskrat and Fuckster push more people to open-web platforms and help the Fediverse grow. It’s time these shitbags lose some control over what people consume.

    You’re posting that proposal on social media. I think most social media is terrible as well. What if it wasn’t?

      I know. I guess i rather meant the influencer/commercial/advertising/brainrot hellscape that are instagram, tiktok and the likes.

      Lemmy feels -for now at least- at bit more…pure or innocent I guess?
