I hope you’re right. I’m betting on the Fediverse, and the fact that it is not corporate owned and can be forked anytime it needs it. I’m hoping that really all it needs to run is servers, moderators and administrators willing to moderate and administer. I’m hoping that the lack of corporate involvement allows it to continue and be a place where we can actually build communities.
As an aside, we need to do away with the idea that corporations are people. We need to remember that they are run by people but are not people themselves.
