The ever-correct #DailyMail in Devember 2000: "Internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it."
Just like @Mastodon and @pixelfed and @loops and other tools and servers of the #Fediverse "may be just a passing fad" now.
Surely people will return to the billionaires' tools once the fad has passed... right? #FOSS @NGIZero #FreeInternetOfTheFuture

Video is such a big part of how we share, learn, and stay updated online. But with #BigTech monopolies and censorship (both private and state), it’s key to have alternatives.
This month, we’re talking to @peertube, a network of independent, self-managed and interconnected platforms. They received a grant from @NGIZero as part of the #NGI0 project.
