@onepict I don't think these people are worth dealing with as they are all to small-minded, thus blocking, but the story of the mess is worth dealing with and has value as it's story I have seen meany times sadly.

@witchescauldron I think people see this space as their career lifeboat and making it big all at the same time.
Much like with Open Source back in the tech startup scene in the UK. Just full of folks who were full of themselves, but made their money off "social enterprise".
Expecting business and the public to cover over the lack of investment in our public services.
I remember years ago this kind of thing with business trying to replace MS office and exchange.

@witchescauldron like by the time MS is in a business it's too late.
You need to train the kids on more than one system, and invest in alternatives.
But this is how we end up with a metric fuckton of parliament information on servers owned by an American company, that if the CIA wants that info, Microsoft will just hand it over.
Folks like those corporates in the Fedi see nothing wrong with that.
We've a generation of folks who don't see how they can move.

@witchescauldron I trained as a temp using different systems, used different platforms and forums.
But a bunch of folks came online using twitter and Facebook and built their communities on it.
FOSS failed those folks, the Indyweb continues to fail those folks.

@witchescauldron I don't have the answers yet for how to help fix this.
But the first mistake we all make in here is to assume the web works for everyone.
The internet is more than the web, we need to build systems that don't just rely on a browser or a web app to access our community spaces online.
