Interesting short article/call from a bunch of academics to Build A New European Social Media. Mastodon is mentioned, but I think they could have spent a lot more time on the fediverse, personally: https://informationdemocracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EU-has-a-unique-chance-to-establish-local-social-media-platforms.pdf
Also there's not enough blame put on the barriers to interoperability and failures of antitrust that Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) tends to harp on about.
Still, good to see some prominent calls to get away from US megacorporations in social media.
