As time passes on; I get happier that I know the existence of FOSS social media (and the fediverse).

      It’s absolutely not better because the government is accountable to the public to at least some extent. Meanwhile, private entities are by definition not accountable to anyone but their owners. When all your media is owned by a handful of megacorps then it’s far worse than having media owned by the government.
