   We don’t want to be ruled by kings like Zuckerberg and Musk. So let’s create fiefdoms ruled by mini-Zuckerbergs and mini-Musks instead.

   Gosh darnit something tells me there’s a better solution to this but I’ll be damned if I can put my finger on it…

   🤔

     @aral Everyone could run their own Fediverse-capable server, which would solve this, but that’s a barrier too high for many, who don’t want the cost (time, money, knowledge, etc.) it takes to run one. The best option is probably a mix of both, with better tools to help users move and take their accounts with them when they move.

     Something like the web, but smaller? A small web, if you will, where everyone gets their own site and no one's in charge of it, but them?
