Seriously though, I’m tired of people starting new social networks with investor money. Those investors want their money back and the entrepreneurs starting the social networks are going to need to pay them back with money obtained from the members.

I want the USENET model back. It was the original Fediverse. Community is an outcome of the protocol.

So, this might seem like a tangent. But I've fallen down the rabbithole of watching musicians listening to songs they've never heard with their speciality (drums, keyboard, bass) removed from the track which they then have to come up with based on their experience.

Anyways because of the above I was looking through the vids by a bass player called Charles Berthoud, when I came on a video talking about his facebook page being inexplicably locked, with no warning and no recourse, and as a result, he lost faith in social media and was starting up a mailing list to ensure he could keep in touch with his fans.

I'll link the video in question here here, but the crux is I found it interesting that a person who has grown up with the techbro platforms, switching to a less tech bro solution because of the capricous nature of web2.0.
