This is very interesting to me in regards to Mastadon.

Once the impact of this is felt, will more journalists and legal experts start moving towards Mastadon links because the platform is simply better at addressing this issue?

In July 2021 President Biden issued an executive order promoting competition in the U.S. economy.
It included 72 different actions.
18 months later, I figured out how many got done.
Change is hard, but it's happening.

A Pitched Battle on Corporate Power

Biden’s expansive executive order seeks to restore competition in the economy. It’s been a long, slow road to get the whole government on board—but there are some formidable gains.

With more states legalizing psychedelics, activists are interested in exploring their power. Is that a good idea?

@robin I would actually love to pick your brain a bit regarding some of what I have been working towards - I really value input and criticism and I would love to get some additional perspective based on your own insights.

I've been reading and re-reading @robin's post, "The Internet Transition," for days now, and it's stupendous.

It matches and extends every intuition I've had about this new world we're in, and puts it all to words in a seemingly effortless way. I know how much effort it took, because it's the post I've always wished I could have written on the topic. Anyone who cares about governance or structures in our complicated new world should absolutely give it a go.

The Internet Transition

The Internet is allowing us to build a richer, more complex society but the way in which we Internet today is failing to support the governance systems that a more complex world requires. I take a look at why these issues are related, try to develop an intuition for a way forward, and point at the emerging field that is coming together to build that future.
