@galaxis If @elonmusk really wants to foster microblogging where folks can make their own rules about what is or is not allowed, maybe he could toss some VC at the #Fediverse? Way cheaper than trying to reform the entrenched! #distributedchoice #electiveaffinities #thefutureislocal

"Imagine a music industry which, instead of investing in a single massive star called Elvis, distributed ten thousand stars, all recording for a dollar, in totally different styles, all appealing to small, highly self-conscious cults in a fragmented society. A society in a state of fabulous confusion, exploding into fragments. Our society, now."

- Momus, 1991
