I'd hold the phone on that one, literally today? I think there's not a bad chance right now that social media somewhat collapses and people significantly return to more things like that; a possible happy medium with -- ideally federated services, but if not, even just like 20 or so twitters and reddits instead of two?



If the fediverse ever gets big enough to be a juicy marketing target or able to sway elections then the same bad actors that destroyed e-mail, Usenet, the open web, and social media will come for it.


I don't disagree that it will try, but I'm generally pretty hopeful that it won't be all bad.
