    All that has happened with the consolidation of social media into a propaganda arm for governments and corporations makes the fediverse decentralized network an important step forward in the right direction.

    If there were another “??? Spring”, could the fediverse be a tool for communication central to a movement still remains a question.

        Empty true, might not always be that way, we’ll have to see. Scattered is an advantage IMO.

        I’m more worried about what the instance owners and admins might do when pressured. I suspect widely different treatment depending which country was in spring so to speak.

          My point is there is no enough mass here to make a difference.

          You can say not yet but the way I see this world moving we’re already past the end.

            Not yet… and TBH, if the shit hits it, all that will be needed is a few people well placed within the system, to disseminate news to everywhere.
