Peer to peer social media and open source social media hubs that anyone can host are a real threat to big-tech run social media giants like facebook and reddit.
It will be next to impossible for them to control the narrative if Joe from down the road can host his own hub for discussions about whatever Joe wants to discuss. Rather than have one social media marketing team embedded on a site like facebook , they will have to prowl the net trying to cover hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of independent nodes of a network, and it will simply not be viable for them to bribe the admins of each of these nodes or buy a stake in them (like tencent did for reddit, the CCP has a $150m stake in reddit/future publishing) like they do for major social media companies.
