I think every country should develop their own social media. It would be best if it was federated-like services that smaller countries could just run the plain open source version of.
Any democratic country that has a large portion of their population using american social media is essentially a modern US colony.

- johnzim 2y agoIt is federated and it has benefits but the UX is garbage for average people and the actual protocol isn't one that'll scale. You don't need an A+ protocol to get great if your product is good enough / dead simple to use but neither of those things apply to Mastodon, as much as I'd like them to.
- fsflover 2y agoI don't see how Mastodon's UX is worse than the one of Twitter, which is good enough, judging by the number of users.
