  I mean, you’re on Lemmy right. That’s what we’re doing.

    while peertube is a solution, and I really hope it succeeds, the content and creators arent there, anyways we can always use piped.

    Not necessarily. The Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) movement is a thing. Most of the Fediverse is FLOSS, and I doubt there’s anyone who can take Lemmy or Mastodon closed source and buy every instance and then stop pop-up instances. It does require quite a bit of work, though, so it is difficult.

    I think the real challenging thing is that a great FLOSS service needs to attract attention and care. When I bring up Fediverse/FLOSS alternatives to software my friends complain about, I’m met with lukewarm-at-best reactions, generally due to networking effects (I think).

    I think the Fediverse is not doomed any time soon. In other areas XMPP is an example of an open source software based protocol since long and still being around, with active projects, and attempts to make things easier, like Snikket : snikket.org

      Communism is bad. Lenin was a murderer and Stalin was worse.

  I often wonder: can we start over?

  No. All services that don’t enshittify will be outcompeted by services that do.

  The love of money is the root of many evils.

  Me personally I have just accepted this is the way it is going to be. The company makes a good product and then it stops making a good product, I move on.
