All that said, it feels like this ship has already sailed.

The only person who can really make an impact here is Eugen – by taking a principled stance against Meta – and that’s clearly not what he’s doing.

Without that, we are witnessing the normalisation of Meta/surveillance capitalism on the fediverse.

The only time you have any power over a trillion-dollar corporation/VC-backed startup is at the start & your only real leverage is making it socially unacceptable. And we’ve surrendered that.
