Great top-level question from @LaurensHof in his newsletter
"What will be the shape of the organisations that will actually build the future of the social internet?"
Would make a great conversation at #FediForum next week.

I've always thought that for the fedi to be widely used and remain decentralized, we would need most people on a locality based server. Like NextDoor. I'm hoping #Roundabout will get us there with the basics of a mastodon style (news feed) server but add on some calendar and group functionalities only available to its members. I think firefish did some of this.
But then we'd also have every government, business and org (especially media) run their own server for staff.
