In the end - oh, so ironically - we'll owe Elmo a sort of "thank you". He plunged a stake into the algorithm's heart.
The world needs an information crossroads public space. But - we now grasp - no one can own it. No individual, no corporation, no country - NO ONE.
The #fediverse is the future.

Elon Musk appears to have out-sourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/
This last week, at the request of right-wing extremists and in response to platform manipulation, Twitter has banned the accounts of @chadloder, @VPS_Reports, @CrimethInc, and @efjbgc.
This article, written by me and @robertmackey, quotes heavily from Mastodon, and embeds a Mastodon post
2005: Rupert Murdoch paid $580m for Myspace.
2009: he sold it in $35m.
2008: Bebo was sold for $850m, to AOL. The founders later bought it back for $1m. It was regarded as one of the worst deals ever made in the dot-com era.
2013: Yahoo paid $1.1bn for Tumblr. 2019: they sold it in $3m.
Elon Musk paid $44bn for Twitter. If history has taught us anything it's that this isn't going to end well… when there wasn't a viable business model in the first place.
