I don't understand why people who seek freedom from enclosed and proprietary platforms are not bigger advocates of ActivityPub and software that relies on it.
After Trump got banned from Twitter & Facebook, the right wing decided to "build" their own platforms and went to Parler or stuff like that, which wasn't a big success.
But why not using awesome tools build by the FOSS community to support their need of freedom ?
I don't share their ideas, sure, but if they used those tools, it will sure make them popular enough so other people would turn to it and start leaving Twitter, Facebook...
It looks like crypto currencies : built by geeks wanting to build a better system, and mostly used by ill intended people.
What don't we see the same thing for social networking ? Because at the end all they care about is money so they need to control everything and build their copy of Twitter or Facebook ?

Correct, and that was the point of my post. Rogan had the platform to freely distribute his thoughts, but in exchange for money, he chose to give up control of their distribution.
