Over the course of 2023, I became totally radicalized by the fediverse's potential to improve just about everything about our online lives. I wrote about why — and what it'll take to get there: https://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub

I mean, yes, sure... but I'm old enough to remember the heady days of the late 80s and early 90s when the Internet was going to usher in an era of unstoppable democratic reform, increases in social equality, and other happy things.

Didn't quite work out the way it was envisioned. And I'm not sure the entrenched surveillance capitalism business model of the Internet is so easy to disrupt.
