   I love the linux-of-social-media comparison too. Thank you.

   That's also my reason for being here. I feel attracted to an interoperable, community digital medium. My other "social media" are group threads.

   Tbh, if the "greed is good" commercial social media were suddenly regulated out of existence and/or the principals were criminally investigated, it would not surprise me.

     Look, I love the fediverse but I am realistic in that for the forseeable future it will 100% be the Linux of social networks, with everything that implies.

     And the reason I am here and not on bsky or threads is not because I think it's somehow better or more virtuous (in many ways, it's worse!) or because I think this place is any less likely to collapse or turn to shit than any other social network I've ever been on.

     It's because all the other platforms are really bad for my mental health 🤷🏻♀️
