Many sad stories recently about long-running Twitter accounts being deleted by their owners due to Musk's disturbing behaviour. If one person/company owns an entire network, it eventually starts exploiting its users.

It lets communities and people directly own the social networks they depend on.
Threads and now BlueSky have tried to co-opt this concept by "Fediwashing" their centralised corporate networks. If people fall for this, the cycle of exploitation will continue 😩
