You hit the nail on the head. For all of our Eternal September jokes, before then it was a morass of networks that didn't talk to one another at all. But now it's time to fix the damage of centralization. We all got lazy, myself included, and today's mess is the result. I still need to sit down and give one of the fediverse systems a shot. I sat on the sidelines as RedFaceTwitTok ate the world (and have never had an account on any of them). So, for me, the loss of Twitter and nerfing of Reddit are not quite as big a deal as it is for someone who has invested years into a presence there only to get banned or have the site go under. If I'm going to do $SOCIAL_MEDIA, you better bet I want to be able to jump ship (or, if necessary, self-host).
