1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let’s own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

    I like the idea of having first party support for joining communities across instances. That would relieve some pain points.

    Though,human history has shown that we are largely incapable of promoting consistency without a governing body of some sort. Which necessitates some level of centralization.
