The only problem is the lack of public investment. I’d much prefer to see municipalities provide internet and web hosting services to its residents, then build out parallels to BigPlatform through a fedi model. A fedi ecommerce element doesn’t exist.
For profit platforms end up being little different than the East India company, which was owned by the world’s richest man of his time. We had a party in Boston over it.
