Yep. It’s been on the radar for a while, the film didn’t pull it out of nowhere. Though I think back in the day it was always thought of as a fairly unlikely scenario. But that was some 20 years ago. A lot has sadly not changed at all since then.

"Oh no ... my very new free software that's not selling my data and run by VC overlords has some bugs"

I know I'm being an asshole there, but this is about more than usability, it's about values and speaking with your feet. Not that your comments about usability and bugs don't matter ... they do! My issue is that it is way too normal to put convenience and usability front, center and above everything else.

So many conversations with intelligent people about things like this end with "but is it as convenient!?" If that's all we care about, then we don't really deserve anything better. In the mean time, we can try to adjust what we and others care about.

Well tumblr are supposed to come to the fediverse at some point. And they reportedly were receiving people from the Twitter migration.

Yea I think there’s a healthy perspective here. Many want Twitter and Reddit to die completely. Realistically, that won’t happen, not soon anyway. What’s happening now is more of a fracturing where different people can be happy in different places in the same way that there was a time when everyone was either on Twitter and Facebook and that time passed too.
