I insist that it's absurd trying to beat big tech mimicking their models. A social? Just dress Usenet with some extras (a minimal, readable markup, that render allowing things like video/images embedding in-line for instance) and you get a social no X or Mastodon can beat. We do not need to copy the big, we need better stuff, and those come from the desktop model. Pushing them cut completely out the big ones because they offer inferior solutions and they can't do otherwise to keep up their business. Try to copy them and nobody will care.
