       Over the past year, the Fediverse’s Overton window has shifted drastically. A year ago, my Ricardian socialist sensibilities were considered too “right wing” for many. I’m not anti-corporation. I just think most of them should be converted to co-ops. Flash forward to now. Some folks are practically thirsting for a “benevolent” billionaire to set up shop on the Fediverse.

       @atomicpoet This is probably true.I’m one of those people who joined up who would never, ever describe himself as an anti-capitalist. I am someone who finds value in market economies — a liberal in the classical tradition, basically.That said, I am also sensitive to how markets can be captured and controlled, and interoperability and portability are essential to keeping that from happening.I want individuals to have ultimate control, not entities (government OR corporate).

       @atomicpoet I hadn’t realised just how strong some folks faith was in corporate run social media, and centralised systems, despite what we’ve seen in the last year with Twitter and Musk.

       @davidgarywood@social.davidgarywood.com Not only do they have faith in corporate-run social media, folks on #Bluesky are actively trying to discourage federation despite knowing that Bluesky exists to be federated.

       @jeff @atomicpoet I’m guessing a desire to keep things to a small circle, or believing it’s centralisation keeps it simple and easier to adopt?
