I do want to be clear that what I am saying is not “the fediverse is uniformly better than corporate social media in every possible way”. Mastodon has interesting problems, some of which are quite bad! What I am frustrated about is that the mainstream progressive discourse about social media is frozen in this inaccurate static framing of all “tech” as right-wing because left-leaning pundits are mostly ignoring what left-leaning technologists are doing. I don’t know how to bridge that gap.
