   Musk's abuse of personal power and Twitter's increasing unpleasantness has pushed many to fly the nest.

   But what next? We need federated social media where users can move freely between platforms.

     Federated social media offers competition and choice.

     As with email or mobile phones, your account should be able to work across any provider regardless of the network.

     This is interoperability and it’s key to improving standards.

     In the current walled garden model of social media, users are locked-in to a particular platform.

     People can't move accounts without losing networks they've developed.

     Under tech oligarchs, users have no influence over how content is prioritised or the platform's algorithms.
