The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech… let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.
A good reminder, indeed. We can debate how much any of us control our spaces so long as any part of it is provided by someone else, but just having your own domain name is a fantastic starting point. Services like Micro.one and omg.lol make that first step super easy. Return proprietary social media to its rightful place as a nice addition to your online presence, not the centre of it. It is not much, and it is not something everyone can do, but it is a start.
