1. The people should own the town square
  
  from The Mastodon Team
  
  It is more important than ever that the social web is not controlled by corporations. Today, Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control.

At this point, what should have already been painfully obvious is now impossible not to see: No venture-funded startup will manage to replace Twitter. The only paths forward are another BigTech land-grab or grassroots federation. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
