A good step towards redemption is moving social media outside of the sphere of corporate influence and into the decentralized hands of individual people and small groups. Projects like Mastodon, Akkoma, Lemmy, Kbin, Friendica, and Pixelfed are making the internet an exciting place to be again. I hope this tide also works against Big Email because corporate influence over who gets to send email to them that does not go to spam and who's does is arbitrary and there's no recourse.
