If it's not federated, there is little control already. If the business models for centralized networks are not aggressive right now, nothing stop them from evolving once there's more money on the table.

I wonder what folks here think about ActivityPub. I been craving for a federated protocol since Google Wave. I'm yet to go through it in detail and see if it really stands.

I'm building one (Movim https://movim.eu/) and started to explain how is made the architecture in this blog post https://nl.movim.eu/?blog/edhelas%40movim.eu/how-s-made-movi....
