Twitter apocalypse 

Twitter is high-profile enough that its threat model is not just "somebody publishes an exploit and teenagers wreak havoc for a day or two". Twitter is used by activists, journalists and governments, and the threat model includes "a nation-state penetrates the intranet and hijacks a legitimate employee's credentials". What worries me is a targeted attack, say, scraping a bunch of DMs by local dissidents, who all get mysteriously arrested in two weeks. Chaos makes that easier.

this has been a problem since there have been systems, and i don't think being being your own operator will ever be a solution that everyone can practically engage in.

but governance can also suck.

equitable systems need to be accessible and be able to deal with bad actors. i wish i felt like i knew what the answers were, but after 6 years of open federation...
