Which is why expect to see a government run social media platform in the next few years.
Functionally, the “public good” part of social media networks is almost certainly better served by a single organization.

The best middle ground concept I’ve heard is to contrast the current state of the web with libraries.
NB: Enshittification is going to become a term like “Fake news”, completely divorced from its original roots.
