What a shitty society

It has shittier sides than the one you are looking at.

and what a shitty communication system

Well, Zuck and others found the way to assemble all blonde girls from your town on one site. It was decided then.

At least until the general humanity realized that this doesn't change shit except that we no longer have the normal Web itself, the truly miraculous one which we got used so quickly to.

I like Gemini, but I'll take the ActivityPub-based Web. Better both, of course. With old Skype-like IM on top of that as well.

However, the identities being not cryptography-based and being tied to an instance I don't really like, that should be fixed in future versions if we want to have stuff working differently from e-mail, which is not as decentralized as one would like.

And frankly maybe one should separate content instances from authentication instances. The latter would only present identities.
