Federated networks like Mastadon strike me as being centralization at scale.
They don’t appear to solve any of the power dynamics of users and operators - users are still at the mercy of the operator - and they run on either altruism or monetization.
Mastadon appears to have successfully created N copies of the Facebook problem, which is definitely better than where we were.
