Hey, fediverse! Listen up. You'll like this, I promise.
Yesterday I was on Norwegian national radio, talking about how the "monopoly" of Facebook over the public discourse is dangerous and that politicians need to step in.
My sollution? Enforce federation!
That way the free market of social networks can work and the network effect will no longer be a "social DRM" locking people in.

My biggest complaint with Facebook: Before Facebook became a monster, if you wanted to comment on a news story, or a blog you registered with the website, or Disqus and posted your comments/question. Now a good percentage of news sites or blogs only have Facebook plugin as the way to respond. No Facebook account so can never comment or ask a question.
