I really hope platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon take off. Just the idea of no single person with control over how we all communicate and share ideas gives me hope for the future.
What does it take to facilitate this? Do individuals have the ability to help it along, or does it take more resources? I'm new to this but would like to learn.
You just have to (encourage others to) register on an instance with less than, say, 2000 active users. I think that's already taking care of most of the issue.
