Let's hope we don't repeat the same greedy walled datagarden monopoly and privatization/theft of information -problems with the next generation of social media. Does this shit culture ever change?

We have federation now, which should hopefully kill the datagarden model once and for all.

There's serious usability & scalability issues with existing federation right now, but these traditional social platforms killing 3P clients is a huge boon for federated ecosystems. Just look at Tweetbot-- which used to be considered one of the best UX for Twitter-- and how it's transformed into Ivory.

I'm hoping that a 3P developer brings some of their UX skills to Lemmy or Kbin, which would be really beneficial for bringing new users into the ActivityPub world
