Blocking social media on my networks has made this so evident. There's SO much news and information silo'd off on just a handful of platforms it's insane.

I haven't blocked Reddit yet, but I feel that would basically set me back to the stone ages.

I miss the days when almost every website was run by a single person
Why is this important? How about NGOs?
So you should support Mastodon and ActivityPub.
I support investing socially in the real world and my community
Internet makes the communication across large distances much easier and can't be replaced by personal communication.
The internet != social media
How else are you suggesting to participate in large communities?
Can nostr be a good alternative too?
