A new post in which I talk about this here Mastodon, how I like it already, and how a future net based on protocols can offer so many new opportunities and return the net to its founding principles and humanity. But then, I'm an optimist.

@jeffjarvis the best part is that this is already how the internet actually works. It’s how email works, and the web, and all of it. Except for the software as a service (SaaS) disaster that was part of Web 2.0.

Basically the corporations tried and succeeded in creating proprietary platforms that locked you to them. Mastodon is just doing things the actual way of the internet.
