The mission-driven tech company behind the Firefox browser, Pocket reader and other apps is now investing its energy into the so-called “fediverse” — a collection of decentralized social networking applications, like Mastodon, that communicate with one another over the ActivityPub protocol.

      I’m not hopeful. Video hosting is a different ball game, and free video platforms only exist due to the deep pockets and “users now, profit later” strategy of big tech.

      The only way I see it working is where creators pay for the hosting costs of their own content and monetize on their own terms.
