    My eyes don’t glaze over. I’m FURIOUS that they even exist, and have been since they killed myspace.

    I knew back in 2008 something wasn’t right about facebook. I had no idea what, but I knew they were sketchy.

    By 2010, I knew they were invading peoples privacy. I’ve never had a facebook. And yet, they have my phone number. My mom has facebook, and she stores my phone number in her contacts list.

    Thing is, what can I do?

        Speaking of bulletins, when I first heard of the fediverse, I had the total wrong idea.

        I thought it would be like you can post on Lemmy, as a bulletin, and Masodon users could see it on their end. (Assuming they were subscribed to the poster).

        MY envisionment of how the fediverse worked, based on my misunderstanding would have made for a WAAAAAAAAAY cooler site/collection of sites.

        And the fictional ideas I had to take it further would probably make the fediverse the dominant social media standard.

          It can work like that, and in some ways it does (Mastodon and Lemmy have a small amount of federation compatibility), but we aren’t really there yet. I think the real next step would be entirely disconnecting the interface from the content. ActivityPub allows this but we haven’t taken full advantage of it yet.
