Sounds cool asf, probably the way private messaging apps should be

Although, it is not really fitting my threat model, I would love to see how it develops

You recognize patterns by observing long-term trends, not by overreacting to whatever most outrageous news headline you see right now

Lol

Who are you referring to as "the whole world", specifically? People on Lemmy? Leftists? Your friends IRL?

It seems the latest Github issue was from 5 days ago, so probably not?

I doubt Youtube's enshittification would do anything good for its competitors. Youtube is kinda shitty already, everyone knows it and everyone whines about it, yet no one switches.

Also hosting videos is unprofitable, Google only sustains Youtube to have data to feed AI on and to maintain market dominance. Competitors stand no chance.

I think we should just use Lemmy. Encourage people with upvotes, comment something interesting, join communities and stuff. The more shit there is on Lemmy, the more incentive for people to join it.

Bro, Europe can not help Ukraine force out literally 1984-style genocidal occupiers (Russia and North Korea), no way they would do anything to America.

If we ban centralization then IRC, Signal, Xenforo, vBulletin

Signal is not social media, IRC is an open protocol, isn't it? I do not know about the rest.

Even when you have federation, each unit in that “web” will usually have a centralized moderation team and administration.

I do not have a problem with that. The problem with centralized social media is that users are locked in to using some specific app because all their friends are there, which makes it harder to switch. This gives monopolies like Facebook an unfair advantage.

Can you suggest a comparable alternative?

I dunno, how Lemmy does this?

Do you mean that they at most should be non-profit? And if so, why?

Yes I mean that. For-profit social media profits from increasing user engagement, even if that means through getting people addicted, intentionally not dealing with misinformation (because misinformation is usually more outrageous and gets people more engaged), data collection and other unethical practices, all because shareholders need the line to go up.

I support blocking commercial, proprietary and centralized social media everywhere.
