fwiw fren, I feel the exact same way.
I built my corner of the fediverse to get away from the nazi gestapo who destroyed big tech with their hatred of basic human rights. Suddenly they're showing up like "oh, this is our place now."
It's like "No, we built this to get away from you. Go back to the lands you razed and leave us alone"

I sometimes use speech recognition and it makes the mistake and I'm like "wtf I'm not illiterate I swear"
Honestly, I'd treat personal data like that like learning someone's password while doing IT. I don't know it, I don't want to know it, and if someone starts to tell it to me I'd be like "shshshsh stop I don't want to know"
That actually is pretty incredible.
I checked Canada first and was like "hey way to go" considering the population size, but then I saw Germany and France and was blown away. Those guys are punching way above their weight on the fediverse!

Personally, I think it's already started. Look at what happened in the UK (bondholder freakout resulting in political upheaval and CB printing money while having 10%+ inflation), what's happening in Japan(multiple bailouts of the yen), what's happening in China(even the fake numbers are really low). They're the canary telling us there's already poisonous gas in the tunnel.
Youtuber whatifalthist always says when he's making predictions he's fighting against God because anything can happen so I think I'll take the same disclaimer. I could be totally wrong.
I should also disclaim that "economic collapse" doesn't mean the end of the world, but it'll definitely hurt really badly. I will admit I sort of think main street has already been dealing with an economic collapse for decades.

To be honest, this is actually happened a number of times. The Canadian election ends up lining up close to the American election, and say what you will about Canadian democracy, we know who's in charge of the country by morning.
There's a whole bunch of people in these companies making upper class salaries basically to fart around with their pet projects which have nothing to do with the company. That's why they can spend so much time and energy worrying about things that don't make them a penny and do cost them millions of users.
It won't be until there's an election to dispute, but don't worry I'm just kidding around.
I have alluded to this day in the past by calling it "The Day of the ant and the grasshopper"
For 15 years a lot of people have been screaming at the top of their lungs talking about how the current economic paradigm was unsustainable, and it was just a matter of time before things collapsed.
Between the economic stagnation and the high inflation, there isn't going to be a lot of room to hit the gas like we did in 2003 and 2008, the same can't be done again -- we're about to blow all of our cylinders from all the nitro we've been running through.
