I think it shouldnt ban companies per se. But yeah, if its all build up on open source software and a more healthy culture it will all be for the better. Thats why I wrote “better” silicon valley

Interesting that you mention open souce shared universes. I mean, at the end of the day, all of these become public domain anyways. The problem is that it takes way too long.

But for example with “lord of the rings”, it will someday be available to the public and then things will get interesting, especially with AI these days …

But thats what Mastodon does effectively. Then Lemmy would be another micro blogging service in the fediverse

What is still distinguishing them from Disney, Amazon and the like is their international productions with local film makers. Lets see how that will turn out in the next years …

Yeah ok. Before the streaming wars.

Its peer-to-peer, right? How do they handle moderation in there?

Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn’t do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)

Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

I would agree. Mastodon made search opt-in. There will always be communities and users that refuse to be searchable and that should be fine.

No, each service is a service, regardless of whether its a company or a community or a single user. The idea is that it is a center of innovation for FOSS.
