Anytime we #create something and put it out into the world, we relinquish control over what the world does with it.

But this does not mean we have to sit back and let terrible things happen. @timbl is trying to do something about it:

Solid: Your data, your choice - Solid Project

Solid is an evolution of the web by its creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Solid realizes Tim's original vision for the Web as a medium for the secure, decentralized exchange of public and private data.

Solid Project

If either some other up-and-coming, non-fediverse social media site implements rel="me" checking and presscheck.org gets used for that, or news sites allow rel="me" links from their writer profile pages -- ideally both, and also I think they'd both push each other forward -- then I think we count that as an unqualified #ReDecentralizeTheWeb success. (Possibly the first one?)

The rest of the stuff we're doing here I think is still experimental and fragile, I think, but the fact that as part of a composition of technologies all being self-supportingly together part of the fediverse experience we can get that succeeding is Good.
