Or Usenet. Or BBSs. But one could argue they were all social media. I think the difference is the control that is being exerted by people in power. And that’s likely due to the audience size. It becomes an effective way to guide people’s ideas, decisions, etc. Facebook got there. Reddit got there. Lemmy could.

It’s resistant for sure. But say one instance becomes dominant and controls most traffic? It’s still possible however unlikely.
