    The world as a whole should cut off US hegemony on tech, social media, and news out of existence.

    Lesson to be learned from the last 2 decades is that we also should not let any other country (China or anyone else) hold so much power in shaping a one sided narrative.

    Fediverse is a step in that direction. Hopefully it succeeds.

      Fully agree. Specially on what you said about the Fediverse - the GAFAM exploits network effect walls a fair bit, to lock users in, and federation brings those walls down.

      And, without those walls, it’s also hard for any specific government (be it China or USA or any other) to have hegemonic control over it.
