This is a fun time.
For all of their resources and political clout, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit are adjusting to us.
The inexplicable rise of the fediverse as an independent player has the Big Tech spots scared. They see the shift that is happening and are scrambling to adapt.
They'll do what corporations do to protect their interests: put out mediocre products and lean on their brand recognition to re-capture people into their ecosystems because they have the resources to wait out the hard times.
But we're here, and we are not burdened by the decision-making of people that are out of touch about what makes the web a great place. We have the ability to build and adapt faster and leaner, responding to the needs of various communities in real-time.
This is the space where real innovation happens. This is the space where we make huge jumps forward into the realm of what is possible instead of settling for what is.
This is going to be exciting.
