I don't think these federated replacements will ever truly work out. The whole point of social media is to connect with people and federated replacements simply don't connect enough people. They lead to further isolation, both of communities in general and users that people just don't like. What we really need is one central authority that isn't evil. That will never happen, of course, but if we could find such a group of people, then that would be the way to do it. It's a shame so many evil people are in positions of power.

@Minecraftzocker135 The problem is that it can lead to the creation of factions and more insidious censorship than the centralized platforms. Sounds very much like the setup for Civil War 2.0: Electric Boogaloo.

@cherubin7th Exactly.

@JayDeezN I prefer less barriers because I believe in free speech, even for morons. Although, given the overwhelming amount of them I can certainly understand your reticence. They do tend to ruin things.

@vintprox Nope, and I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.
