I suggest watching the video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo but the article has an OK summary.

Also a Mastodon shout-out in the video.

The only way I can see forward is regulation. Antitrust laws have been suspended for too long. They have to be enforced, and interoperable standards must be fiercely enforced, without loopholes, without exceptions. If leaving Facebook for another social media platform does not have to mean you'll lose all your connections, thanks to interoperable standards, it will be easier for people to ditch them and harder for them to become monopolies.
