I don't know that we'll ever replace big tech, but none of us can see the future. These giants will likely have a slow decline, whilst open-source and federated services will grow at their expense. But of course in the long term I do want the fediverse to replace the US tech giants, who treat us and our data as commodities to be bought and sold.

Any case where we can draw users away from that exploitation, is a victory.

Yeah, I'm with you, Open source forever over the Monopoly of Few Corporations on the Web. Thanks for the reply, Lemmy Creator.
