I was idly wondering what the social media equivalent of software freedom would be. Then it hit me, with the weight of revelation;
Social freedom.
It encapsulates the human rights amd civil liberties that decentralised networks are structurally better at protecting. As well as the software freedom ideas that translate those rights and liberties into technical terms.
Anyone keen to help start a formal coordination and lobbying body called something like Social Freedom Network?

BlueSky already is. Nostr doesn't work like that. The Mastodon Brahman caste are probably heading that direction.
But I think most of the people running fediverse servers can see that being an island didn't work for CoHost. Or even Titter, which wouldn't have been hocked off to Melon Husk if it was a successful business.
