Xanathon<p><span>"For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few massive corporations. Every post, every “friend,” every creative work—locked behind closed doors, and you don’t have the keys.<br>The fediverse is a jailbreak. It’s not a product, not a single platform, it’s not something you can buy stock in or use to enrich yourself at the cost of our shared humanity."<br>[...]<br>"The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time.<br>And that’s just not bloody true."<br>[...]<br>"The fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online."<br><br>Read the full article and share it outside the Fediverse!<br><br></span><a href="https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied/</a><span><br><br></span><a href="https://social.phantanews.de/tags/Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a><span> </span><a href="https://social.phantanews.de/tags/Enshittification" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a><span> </span><a href="https://social.phantanews.de/tags/PlatformCapitalism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlatformCapitalism</a><span> </span><a href="https://social.phantanews.de/tags/untrump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#untrump</a></p>
