  The second best time to plant a tree is now. Running these platforms will be getting cheaper with time too.

    "Running these platforms will be getting cheaper with time too." Most cloud systems that make scaling of platforms easier are American too. We (Europeans) aren't behind just in social media, but in most of the IT industry, and way too many critical elements of the total stack don't have reliable European counterparts.

      We don’t need Amazon. Hetzner, Nix, Elixir is enough to build a Social network.

  2005 is incidentally when StudiVZ was founded.

  This was realised and raised longer than 20 years ago, the primary problem being the decisionmakers who own the money have never cared beyond the 'Quarter'. The nerds are in pocket.

  In my country 19 years ago we had a social media platform that for a long time was dominating and Facebook basically didn't exist internally. But that was long ago, now they are gone and everyone is on Facebook. On the other hand, if a change happened once it can happen twice.
