> more decentralized Internet where people, not platforms, have real ownership and control

Does this mean Reddit will give control of its forums, or the equivalent thereof in meta-space to its users? Reddit is a "platform" right? It seems to be saying that it doesn't want to be in control.

It's a sensationalist job description, not a corporate five-year plan. I wouldn't read that much into it.

Yes, according to Ben Thompson's latest post on Stratechy, "OpenSea, Web3, and Aggregation" [1]. He suggests that the next age of the web will replace accounts with no technical lock in, and network effects with virtual communities (see the diagram at the end of the article).
