    > On the infrastructural side, Tarnoff shows a clear preference for the community-owned networks that have been proliferating across the United States > Meanwhile, on the services side, Tarnoff takes aim at the “bigness” incentivized by the need to produce returns for the difficulties they create for self-governance and the negative social interactions they promote. Instead, he presents a model of a “protocolized” social media with a proliferation of small communities that can interact with one another and where public funding is available for media.

Kinda like Mastodon, except you get to fight over who controls the government funds that everyone's supposed to depend on.
