When infrastructure is too centralized, gatekeepers gain new powers to capture, enshittify, and censor. The result is a system that becomes less useful, less stable, and with more costs put on access. Science thrives on sharing and access equity, and its future depends on a global and democratic revolt against predatory centralized platforms.

Amen to that.

I often talk about how I would like to see clubs and groups and orgs host their own federation instances and just have communities around what they do. This makes even more sense with universities. Everything should get published to the fediverse. Heck every lab should have its own community and only allow posts from members of the lab and moderate it.
