@alex @curtis if 2021 has taught me anything, it's that we need to get out of the slave mentality of wanting someone else to provide for us. The internet does not require big tech. Big Tech does require us. I've been loving my time on the fediverse, and I've had my searx instance as my default search engine for months without Google being involved at all.
Every single politician could very easily open up their own instances of whatever they need, and they wouldn't have to worry about anybody kicking them off because you can't be kicked off your own server. I don't like big tech, but this problem is clearly not something that we need to regulate away.
