What have we learned? Never again should we go to a social company that does not promise portability and interoperability, that does not federate with others, that is not sufficiently open-source to allow emergent innovation from users. This is a test.
@jeffjarvis I've learned that, in some ways, individuals are in far greater danger from bad actors in the fediverse than they were on Twitter. Most folks don't have the skills or resources to host an instance, moderate one, or detect security breaches. Most don't even have the resources to pick a reliable instance, or be certain of the admins.
I'm not suggesting we go back to big tech, but we should be aware of where we are, be cautious about the dangers and hopeful for a bright future.
