Kind of a superficial article but at least it mentions #Mastodon "independent alternatives such as US-owned Bluesky and German-developed Mastodon, whose feeds boast considerably less hate, misinformation, bot-generated content and AI slop, and whose followings are appreciable (about 1.5 million and 800,000 monthly active users, respectively)" The big issue I have is the phone apps. I'm intrigued by the alternative phone platforms but things like your banking app, #EV charging app etc will not work on non-ios/google systems. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/26/how-to-replace-amazon-google-x-meta-apple-alternatives #enshittification #bigTech
