Reddit has been Facebook since like 2019-2020. Any social media service that gets too big just becomes a complete shit hole, hence my joining the fediverse.

All things said and done, this isn't the worst pick I've seen in this hellscape administration. I was fully expecting an Exxon CEO or something. It's still extremely worrying how easy Jacobs can throw away any scientific integrity for Trump's loyalty (e.g. Sharpiegate).
The real alternative is to restructure our incentives systems (i.e. capital market regulations), but that's the absolute last thing that will ever happen. Carbon taxes are a step in that direction but are still just a tiny bandaid on a gaping wound.
sucks to suck
Without some kind of mechanism to cap off growth, I think any social media service will end up like Facebook. As for the concept of a fediverse here, I think certain instances will definitely turn to shit, but it's up to the individual instance rules to figure that out.
