I would disagree that federated social networks would face the same pressure to increase time spent on their sites. By the nature of federation, a sort of marketplace of social sites would allow people to move to whatever serves them best (for whatever their definition of best is). So if a member of the fediverse starts feeding someone unenjoyable content, they could leave.
- braderhart 8y agoExactly.. creative uses of federated and decentralized social networks, especially using tools like blockchain, will allow us to filter our content and provide us with avenues for ad-free networks. Rich people shouldn't be able to propagandize poor people with advertising in exchange for educational tools. We are still exploiting the poor and are a racist colonialist nation that facilitates generational wealth and land ownership based on past exploits and transgressions.
