There is mass attention on the pitfalls of centralization right now - Twitter, and now Reddit, two public squares annihilated by corporate greed.
People are learning that the rewards of social media are possible without the ennui machine sucking their souls. They do care, but many don't understand enough to navigate this combination of tech and social structures. Now is the time to educate them and take advantage of that.

There are both technical and economic reasons for this. If people want freedom, privacy, and control of their own data they may have to tolerate a somewhat higher friction user experience. This may be unavoidable. The cost of online freedom may be a few extra steps.
