So let me get this straight: First, it was Elon. Now, it is Mark. Two guys are removing all moderation rules on social media. And are people asking another billionaire to build alternative social media? Do you even hear yourself? That is not going to fix anything. Maybe we should go back to the days of blogs, mailing lists, individual forums, and RSS feeds and end this madness of centralized social media apart from the federation. I’m just saying

@nixCraft Good news! Blogs, mailing lists, forums, and RSS feeds haven't gone away! Both the tech and the usage are still there.

Rather than worrying about convincing people to leave siloed social media in large groups, I recommend moving over and using what you enjoy, so that when you're inevitably asked to help others do the same, you have the knowledge!
