If you're looking for a platform without billionaire investors and owners, well, this is the only one.

@asha that's interesting. What do you mean by "not monetized"? There are already lots of Fediverse services you pay to use, like masto.host and wordpress.com. I think they're OK, although I prefer cooperative models like cosocial (which members also pay for).

@evan
sorry, i expressed myself somewhat incorrectly, as you posted already before, i hope that the fediverse will stay free of billionaires, oligarchs, etc., and won't be hijacked and destroyed by them. -
@asha yeah, I think there's a biiiiiig difference in kind between commercial services as an option, and having the entire thing run by a single company. I'm much less concerned about other people making commercial-oriented choices with their social networking if I can easily opt out and ignore it.

@andyc also, and I hate to be the one to tell you, but Oracle isn't even in the top 20 of most evil tech companies any more. It feels kind of quaint to think about a time when the worst thing a tech company could do was have aggressive sales teams that get their product into a borderline monopoly percentage of the world's server rooms.
