I’d much rather see sites like Lemmy, PeerTube, and Mastodon see widespread adoption then the dystopian cyberpunk fever dream in the head of Zuckerburg. Did you not read the novel dude? It’s a freaking warning! That’s like Jeff Bezos reading Fahrenheit 451 and going “holy crap dude, gotta make that a reality like, yesterday!” I want the Fediverse, not the Metaverse! Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
I hope we can find a stable balance so that there will no longer be phases to the internet. I think federation is a move in the right direction for that purpose.
I think this fits the topic of free and open source software. those things are needed to end the cycle of venture capital and advertising destroying what should be public spaces.
