Educational institutions might have to start adopting the Fediverse.
Especially now that Twitter's API is no longer free.
Which means an entire generation of students will be learning about ActivityPub and Mastodon's API.

I started my career by learning the Twitter API.
I developed bots before I launched my first website.
APIs in general are a great tool to learn the in and outs of the Internet.
