This is such a weird article... that talks about "what if social media were not for profit, was decentralized, and federated..." and then only in the ver last paragraph mentions that Mastodon exists, but doesn't say "and it does everything I talked about in this article" https://newint.org/features/2023/02/20/what-if%E2%80%A6-social-media-were-not-profit
@mmasnick It is odd. It feels like he started a while back, and kept adding to it incrementally, not knowing where he was going or where he would shop it later. It could have begun with a small mod of the last paragtraph.
