Web 2.0 and how things went wrong.
Internet with a modem was a completely different world. Web 2.0 is the road to Hell paved with good intention.
Web 2.0 was betting on community and user-generated content. In a capitalist society, someone had to pay, but people were not ready to do that, so that advertising became the main business model. People don't want to have to enter credit card details to connect to other people.
Redundancy
Useful to avoid overloading instances
Social Considerations
Do we want global hashtags in the #Fediverse?
Positive potnetial vs. negative
Technical Considerations
intended as opt/in, domain/based push federation still better for user subscriptions

" Let's talk about the elephant in the room " (shows a mastodon 🤣 )

- legitimate interest (vs the data subject's interest)
