Eugene's ambivalence to deeply hurtful business operations is off-putting. People aren't merely mistrustful. They're harmed and fleeing in some cases. Zuckerberg's choices are sociopath choices.

Every dictator ever was basically mainstream. That's what it usually means. Genghis and Kublai Khan were mainstream in their time too.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁
