Robert Reich on Mastodon:

By the way, the economy is at least 50% more concentrated now than it was in 2005.

We desperately need stronger anti-trust enforcement to break up the monopoly power of corporations like Ticketmaster. RobertReich

1. How about we break up the 6 media conglomerates, too?

4. Both Presidents named Roosevelt

Would go nuts if they saw how we handle anti-trust in this country now.
We used to ban it; now we label it Too Big to Fail.

[NYC Democrat]

5. I feel like Mastodon is probably too techy to become THE new Twitter if Twitter actually implodes

Like it isn't THAT complicated but for your average 60+ year old who really only got hard into the internet in the last decade when it started becoming basically everything? It probably is.

That said monopolies suck but with social media by the nature of it BEING social, most people are going to gravitate to a single or a handful of platforms for the greatest reach. There's a certain level of inevitability with Social Media where a few things will always become the top dogs cause of that.
