But what is your mobility as one of its workers? What other social networks can they begin working for realistically in such a small market? Maybe that's the way to fight against Zuckerberg's and Musk's attempts to turn their networks into propaganda tools for the highest bidder, to encourage disgruntled workers to start their own social networks and then go support them as well. I would seriously consider paying for an adequately moderated ActivityPub alternate that truly respected its users, was truly transparent, focuses on high quality content, and prevented brigade agenda pushing.
I don't know if they use activityPub but open source Facebook equivalence do exist.
I know because me and my friend thought we were onto a great idea with "social networks as a protocol" but it turns out that it already existed. For some reason it just doesn't seem to have taken off in the same way that Mastodon has, not that Mastodon itself is that successful (look at its numbers compared to Blue Sky).
