I feel we need to learn from recent history, we went into Iraq with the view to remove Saddam Hussain, disbanded the police and army with no plan as to what we wanted next, result chaos.
We need a post big tech breakup plan to work towards so we don't end up with this, or something else may emerge which is worse.
So we have decentralised social media, and similar ideas, which is a start.
@coyote I am guessing you want it to be more decentralized?
Climate change science
@varve Good science about refining and improving what we know,
@coyote Does wikipedia have a HQ as it is a collaborative effort to produce an encyclopedia?
Wow! I am imprssed!
"Today, the Jami team presents the first Technical Preview of a new generation of distributed text conversations: Swarms."
"Swarms are fully distributed and peer-to-peer text conversations, with a potentially unlimited number of participants."
"Under the hood, Swarms use Git to store the conversation, along with peer-to-peer TLS connections for syncing."

Fleeing WhatsApp for Better Privacy? Don't Turn to Telegram:
Because the chat app doesn't encrypt conversations by default—or at all for group chats—security professionals often warn against it.

Do you want to run your own Fediverse instance, but don't want to do the tech stuff?
✅ Managed hosting services let you create your own instances without technical knowledge. They handle the tech stuff behind the scenes, you do the rest.

@hurtado Welcome
Hey there! I'm Carlos (he/him). I'm a librarian living in Argentina. I just transferred from Fosstodon, which is awesome and all, but I'm no techie and I didn't feel like I was in my element. Other than reading, I love anime, and I'm a massive fan of the Megami Tensei game series.
My favourite books are Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time' and Richepin's 'Contes de la décadence romaine.'
