Why? So the same thing can happen as with X? Jack Dorsey is yet another unhinged billionaire with problematic views of his own.

Federation is the only answer.

That's why I put the "I know" bit in there...but right now musk is the target....show these billionaires they're not in control and they're going to lose money if no one uses their platforms and buys their products and things will change. We have control more than we realize, we just don't use it properly.

I have a different view.

Have all governments move straight to FOSS federated platforms, so that the billionaire that caused this exodus (Musk) is eaten alive by other billionaires so that they learn that when they fk up, the entire billionaire class loses revenue. So they can experience some class infighting for once instead of laughing all the way to their pedo orgy islands.

If one billionaire's F*ck up leads to another billionaire's increase in fortune (Bluesky), then all you're rewarding is them to keep doing what they do with their manufactured "competition" BS.

There's no such thing as "target" and "non-target" billionaire, either. They all are targets so don't let yourself get distracted.
