It’s a step, sure. But there’s still a long road ahead and the likelihood of Meta choosing profits over full decentralization & control is the most likely.

The most popular apps will have smart defaults. Most users don’t want to muck with settings.

+1. One of the reasons social media never really resonated with me, despite my efforts to try to get into it, is because the experience felt too curated and, as a result, inauthentic. That changed w/ FC bc of the quality of people/conversation. In the future, I’d love to have more granular control over my experience
