    More importantly, the fediverse can represent a viable alternative to what FANG wants to build.

    The internet will be divided into walled, tracked, identity based, surveilled regions, and truly anonymous regions.

    Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

      Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn’t do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)

      Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

      I would agree. Mastodon made search opt-in. There will always be communities and users that refuse to be searchable and that should be fine.

      FAMG doesn’t have the same ring to it but i hate that Microsoft is missing.

      Or we keep FANG for Nestle? Maybe not relevant but any opportunity to say Fuck nestle.
