In a proper social media environment, I could click on #BadBunny and quickly scroll to a video explainer of the halftime show for us dumb English only folks. True decentralization would mean they all interoperate. Not only no separate corporate silos, but #peertube and #mastodon and #lemmy would all mesh better than they do today. Video hosting plus news feed virality plus sorting based on hashtag and reply ranking. No ads or algos. Creators get paid per second what we can afford.

Mastodon is the anti-influence platform

On the social web we are
- free from the influence of megalomaniacs or any one person
- free from the influence of VCs and profit motivations
- free from the influence of algorithmic manipulation

Plus as a bonus, you can follow a friend's "Instagram" from your "Twitter" account ✨

Played around a bunch with FediReader today, the app feels so much better to use now

I’m going to spend tomorrow polishing up the app and hopefully be able to get something out to the public this week!
