@evan@cosocial.ca asks for a show of hands of people who have quit a social network and later gone back.
More than a few hands go up.

Oh here's a hot take.

It really speaks to the audience a bit that every time I attend a fediverse focused conference the phrase "seize the means of production" always gets said at some point

Everything on the table:
I should do this, but have been waiting because I *really* want to self-host the main #Emissary and #Bandwagon accounts on my own software.
Right now, Emissary is a great PUBLISHER and READER, but it does a poor job with DMs. So I couldnβt really use Emissary to support questions like this one.
Itβs been on my roadmap for a while, and itβs why Iβm excited to build #e2ee DMs, too.
But I do plan to launch these as soon as I have a good solution for DMs.
