I really hate it when big tech takes over companies instead of trying to create a competitor. I guess it's just easier and more profitable to take over the incumbent. I mean Google bought Youtube for a "mere" 1.65B and now Youtube is worth a couple of hundred billion or something like that.

There is a suit going on in US against the FB for this reason only right ? It not only kills competition but also innovation and creativity.

I think there is too many law suits against the big tech companies I can't keep track. It's possible but I think it is for buying out their messenger competitors.

It is why we just need to keep creating our own.
Decentralization will help to make them vulnerable. It is not easy but, in my view, starts one person at a time.
Just need to start converting people over.

Yea I am hoping that the conversion is starting more and more. The biggest plus I see recently is that the big tech corporations aren't talking about user numbers anymore. So I think they aren't being very favorable for them right now.

I hadnt noticed that part about the user numbers but it makes sense. We need ProjectBlank to hit and take a few million users away from Twitter. If we can do that, it is game on.

I think the biggest problem is people are a little to spread out. Parler seems to be in some trouble with arguments between former executives. I think most of the rabble is waiting for a certain person to announce which platform he is joining.

That is how it usually operates.
They either buy it and roll it in or shelve it. That is not only tech but corporations in general. Look at Facebook and Instagram. They bought it for a billion dollars and now who knows what it is worth.
It is important for start ups not to sell out. However, a young developer creates something and gets offered a ton of money, it is obvious what that person will do.

it is a dog-eat-dog world out there. This is why we hammer our own taking back ownership from these institutes and corporate giants, even the government. they are monopolizing everything and that is dangerous. the average joe doesn't care as long he gets the services and products he wants.

It is very dangerous and they grow ever more powerful. We need to do everything we can to turn the tide the other way.
Each users, each dollars, anything that is moved away from the establishment is a step in the right direction. Get a 100K of them a day and things are moving.
