The most persistently aggravating thing about discussing social media with people is the persistent belief some people have that the likes of #Twitter and #Meta are all-powerful, and there's nothing you can do about it.

That's straight up poppycock.

Not even Twitter and Meta believe that. If that were true, Twitter wouldn't have provided seed funding for #Bluesky, and Meta wouldn't be building #Barcelona. They're building these things because they perceive that the Fediverse -- correctly -- is a threat.

And why do they know the Fediverse is a threat? Because it's the most revolutionary communications technology in decades.
