Molly White (who authors the Web3 is Going Just Great blog) argues for the web we want. "The tech industry, even with its billions of dollars, is not an indomitable force. Though they can and will ignore what people want from them, they cannot control what those people think. And the tide can turn against them. And it doesn’t always take a job at The New York Times or a huge pre-established platform to become one of the voices speaking up, helping to turn that tide. Sometimes you just have to make something cool. " The coda here is that if enough of us make enough things, one of them will eventually prove to be cool. That's what I'm trying to do these days. No success yet, but it doesn't have to be me that makes the cool thing. Just someone, the way Eugen Rochko made Mastodon.
