While I'm at it, every now and then we've seen alliances between civil rights organizations and platform giants on certain issues. I think, this has become increasingly problematic, and moving forward there must be a much clearer distinction from the tech industry's interests.

Seriously, the most fun I ever had online was in the years prior to 2008 - when instead of visiting just one or two huge sites over and over, I spent my days wandering from message board to personal site to proto-social network in search of cool people and cool stuff. If we move just 1% back in that direction - with people visiting Mastodon, AND Cohost, AND whatever the fuck other sites they like - I'll be very happy.
