This is just temporary. The social media conglomerates are still centralized entities and will continue to be so until they eventually die out. I see no realistic opportunity for any of them to make a U-turn into a more decentralized model - there’s just too much big company bureocracy around these companies and of course lots of financial incentives to keep doing what they are doing - produce profits to shareholders. They can (and will) be forced to comply with government policy, it’s just a matter of time. When the political landscape and narratives are aligned in a way that it’s useful for the government to do so, they will.
