It doesn’t need to replace anything, that’s a sports mentality applied to the free flow of information. What this decade has taught us is that the doomscroll is all there is.

By the fediverse’s existence, whenever some company wants to rate-limit or ban 3rd party apps, the people can now just say: “Nah.”
