Apart from politics, one thing I hope that comes from this is the people learn to own their online identity instead of leasing it from social media companies.

Apart from politics, one thing I hope that comes from this is the people learn to own their online identity instead of leasing it from social media companies. For an individual, set up your email on your own domain. Even if you use some other service to host it for you, as long as you own the name, you can move it wherever you want. If you host a community, have it on your own domain. Maybe initially it just redirects to a reddit subreddit, but your users should get in the habit of going to MyCommunity.tld instead of reddit.com/r/my_community If you make videos for a living, have at a minimum a website that has a list of your videos and always tell your users that that is the canonical place to find your videos. Own your online identity. Don’t lease it from a social media company.
