The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

@Gargron and it's a reality that Twitter, alongside all other centralized social networks + communication platforms, will have to come to terms with once the EU's DMA (Digital Markets Act) goes into effect.

Everything will become federated, no more fragmentation! A great course correction for the digital world.

Have you been following what's been going on with the GDPR? With a few exceptions, companies have been largely ignoring it and getting away with it, because the respective data protection authorities are understaffed, underfunded and sometimes downright unwilling to take a decision to uphold the law.
So I'm not holding my breath for the DMA.
