Letting Big Social and governments sock it out to try to make this work doesn't seem like a winning proposition.
I really cherish Bluesky / atproto in huge part because it offers some chance for organic exploration, for individuals & orgs to test and try many ways to make social media work, to defang the Advanced Persistent Threats of the info-world. Without data that wouldn't necessarily count for much, but the firehose & backfill are also quite easy to get: humanity stands some chance, isn't quite in such a dark forest with the adversary here.
