And so being able to pick up and say, my followers, my content, my experience on this platform is now portable somewhere else is powerful on its own. The other side of it is that what it does is it takes a social network and just sort of explodes it into a thousand pieces. So right now, if you sign up for Facebook, you're signing up for Facebook's app.

You're signing up for Facebook's content moderation ideas. You're signing up for Facebook's photo compression experience. You're signing up for Facebook's executives and how they feel about advertising. You could break those things into their component parts and essentially say, OK, I want to read posts in this app because I like the way that it looks.

But I want this version of content moderation because I think that fits better with how I see the world and what I want my experience to be. You get to just build your experience of the Internet sort of piece by piece rather than having to sign up for someone's entire idea about how it should be. Do we have smaller scale Fetaverses out there already?

I think the best example right now is probably an app called Mastodon, which had its real moment in the sun right after Elon Musk bought and immediately started ruining Twitter. So right now, if you have a Mastodon account, you can follow any threads user Which means I could see your threads posts from my Mastodon app. Without even having threads. Correct. Your stuff is part of the Fediverse.

It's just in this giant bucket of content that I am able to read and respond to. That's pure Fediverse stuff, right? Like that is the beauty of this system is that I can be on threads and you can be on Mastodon and we can hang out. And that's great. Is there an incentive beyond like...

Yeah, we're not big on idealism in this country at this point. I would say the ruthlessly capitalistic take on this is that if we do this right, the opportunity becomes gigantic. And again, if you build something that's not just the size of Instagram or the size of Twitter, but is the size of the internet, you can build all kinds of things on top of it.

I mean, you can think of Google as just a tool on top of the internet. All Google does is search a bunch of web pages for you. That's a pretty good business, it turns out, because you can put ads on those search results and then you have to go to court about how successful your business has been. If we do the Fediverse right, there are going to be lots of those things too.
