Nice essay on what the fediverse *should* be doing:
[It] doesn’t need to resurface the tired, worn-down tennis courts of the old internet. It needs to create something new. [It] offers an entirely different kind of online experience. It’s smaller, more local, more relational. It’s messy in the best ways. It prioritises conversation over content, sharing over extraction, and community governance over corporate control.

Translation: “Last night, a lunar impact flash appeared on the night side of the first quarter moon! It was a flash at 20:33:13.4 on October 30, 2025 (270fps, 0.03x speed playback). Since the moon has no atmosphere, meteors cannot be seen, and it lights up at the moment a crater is formed. Based on the impact area, it may be derived from the Taurus Southern Meteor Shower or Northern Meteor Shower, which are currently at their peak.”

I’ve seen this movie. They put the plan in [a] drawer to avoid getting a “No” in a voting. Now, the next presidency will put some makeup on Chat Control bill and try to pass it again in a few months. Again and again until bad guys win.
