    I don’t want to save the liberal democracy, thanks.

    Actually, I’d say the fediverse nature is pretty much contrary to liberal values, at least in the state it exists right now with most instances being maintained by volunteers and donations, not corporations (let’s obviate Threads for the moment because there’s no full federation)

    I’d say that Threads or the former Twitter allign far better with the values of liberalism, being for-profit private companies.

      Firstly: commerzialization will come eventually anyways.

      Secondly: what has all of that to do with democracy? I would hope that the Fediverse thrives to become a democratic place.

      Also, the Fediverse is currently still rather small. If it should benefit humanity as a whole, you will not be able to avoid corporations completely.

      Wow, that’s great. Only the thing that our society is based on for last decades with a tradition of hundreds of years. Great, down the toilet with it! Hope you got some idea with what to replace it …
