> Eh? There already are decentralized social networks available to use. This doesn’t add up.

I agree. They've always existed in one form or the other, it's just that nobody gave a fuck. Mastodon kinda changed that by attracting about half a million monthly users. A tiny, tiny number for a social network, but a gigantic number for a decentralized social network.

This website is good for the overview of the "fediverse" (collection of social media services talking together via open protocols): https://the-federation.info/

Hell, name a social network, and I can name at least one attempt at decentralizing it: Twitter (Mastodon, Pleroma), Instagram (PixelFed, Anfora), reddit (Lemmy), YouTube (PeerTube), SoundCloud (Funkwhale), Medium (Write.as) etc. An obvious one that I haven't listed is Facebook, but that thing has so many features that a viable alternative heavily depends on which Facebook features you actually use.

I see nothing wrong with this strike, but I don't see how spreading awareness helps if you don't point to the most obvious solution available.
