Stuck on Big Tech vs. Big China, America Overlooks the Real Social Media Revolution Happening Elsewhere
The Fediverse, a network of decentralized social media platforms, thrives in Europe and Canada, promoting privacy and user control in contrast to U.S. corporate giants. Factors like European regulations, public funding, and anti-Big Tech sentiment contribute to its success, while the U.S. struggles with corporate dominance and lack of privacy laws, lagging behind in digital innovation.

One thing that we need to be mindful of is some things that we're trained to think are good, like being able to immedialey see how popular a post is by glancing below the post at the Like and Boost amounts, are #toxic for a #community in the long-term.
They encourage both #botFarms and #herdMentality.
That's why for many years #Fediverse softwares would not show such numbers by default. Instead opting for <BLANK>, 1, or 1+.
I love all these “This social media site is doing this so you should do this because #herdMentality” Run! Danger! Pay no attention to what your eyes and experience tell you. PANIC PEOPLE! WHY ARE YOU NOT PANIC-ing?
Is Star Wars a trilogy?
