eYou, you are simply too late to the party. As the piece highlights in the early paragraphs, its already being done by Mastodon and the Feds (the good Feds).
I just discovered Mastodon and the Feds (that should be the name of a band) and I'm utterly thrilled to have control of what I see. Its a breath of fresh air. I look forward to my feed every day. I know its not going to be full of bollocks about Trump and other toxic stuff. Its a game changer for me.
The future is FOSS and data sovereignty and I feel a little bit closer to it today that I ever have.
