Evan asks "Do social networks matter?" - more then 50% of adults check social media daily. And in 2025, more people get their news from social media than new outlets. So, the answer is yes. They do matter!
All of the current big platforms rely on advertising and even moreso, targeted advertising based on your online behavior. So keeping you locked in to their platform is essential so they know even MORE about you.

Algorithms are optimized to keep you on platform and engaged. Stay here for EVERYTHING. The platform will decide what's important for you in the moment.
Jeff Side Note: I want to re-iterate that algorithms aren't evil in and of themselves - it's the platforms that manipulate you with their algorithms that are the problem.

Evan says "We need meaningful choice for our social web. Choosing your own platform, your own client and most importantly, keep your existing connections - the people that matter to you."

How do we pay for the fediverse? Co-ops, subscriptions, donations, even advertising (gasp). They don't have to all be federated with each other - just to the communities that make sense for their needs.
I'm starting to hear this more often. Newsmast group is thinking similarly as well.

The fediverse does have connections to larger social platforms, showing interest in connecting to the larger audience. Flipboard and Surf are great examples of ways to incorporate fediverse content into mainstream social timelines.

"We'll know that the fediverse wins...when mainstream media starts showing posts from users in the fediverse rather than X, Facebook, etc."
We've already seen some of this with Bluesky, but he's right, not sure I've seen a Fediverse handle out there yet.

Evan: "Finally, we need policy makers to do the work to require interoperability."
Yep. Canada, you have more of a chance than the U.S.
Jeff Note: Sometimes the policy has to start small - get your local library to crate a fediverse account. Your fire department. Your city hall. Help them get setup if you can.
